You added COMPAT_OBJS
above, but I think there is no linker guarantee it will pick up
compat/fnmatch/fnmatch.o over the C runtime version?

The way linkers work ensures that git code picks up the compat version when
defined this way.

So why does e.g. compat/snprintf.c need to "#undef snprintf" before
defining it again?
