Fails with compat/mingw.[ch] doing:

    [...]
    compat/mingw.c:#undef strftime
    compat/mingw.c-size_t mingw_strftime(char *s, size_t max,
    compat/mingw.c-               const char *format, const struct tm *tm)
    [...]
    compat/mingw.h:#define strftime mingw_strftime
    [...]

What's a good macro idiom to dig oneself out of that hole? The only
similar thing I could find was NORETURN in git-compat-util.h being
defined differently on various platforms, and then things like:

	+#if !defined(__MINGW32__) && !defined(_MSC_VER)
	 __attribute__((format (strftime, 2, 0)))
	+#endif

Which seems to work, and may be the simplest workaround...
