I get the bogus warning when compiling on Windows and it really is 
annoying/confusing. So it would be nice to fix it. I guess at the risk 
of expanding the code infinitely, we could do:

ifeq ($(findstring mingw, $(GNUSTEP_TARGET_OS)), mingw)
 ...windows specific check
else
 ...unix specific check
endif

(also including cygwin)
