Thinking about this some more, the best solution is probably to
eliminate the problem altogether by adding inline-wrappers for
required CRT-functions, e.g.:

Yes, this is acceptable.  But I wouldn't pollute mingw.h.  You can do
it on top of mingw.c like this:

But having it in the .h file may come in handy if we want to split the overlong mingw.c into several compilation units...

#undef gethostname
static inline int crt_gethostname(char *host, int namelen)
{
	return gethostname(host, namelen);
}
#define gethostname please_call_the_mingw_or_crt_version

Now you're mixing all three variants...note that with my suggestion to #define crt_foo in mingw.h, you don't need '#undef foo', nor redefine foo (your variant), nor rename other callers in mingw.c to 'mingw_foo' (Hannes' variant).

Callers of foo() would simply write "foo()", no matter whether in mingw.c or anywhere else. In the special case that you really want the CRT version, you'd write crt_foo(). This works everywhere, even in core-git code wrapped in #ifdef GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE.
