Well, judging from the way Linus reacted to the patch, I'd have to
disagree.  After all, that argument leads to the position that
nothing is needed in compat/, no?

One ugliness (lack of sane strcasecmp definition whose address can
be taken) specific to mingw is worked around in compat/mingw.h, and
another ugliness that some people may use compilers without include_next
may need help from another configuration in the Makefile to tell it
where the platform string.h resides.  I am not sure why you see it
as a problem.

To that I tend to agree.  Unconditionally killing inlining for any
mingw compilation in compat/mingw.h may be the simplest (albeit it
may be less than optimal) solution.
