Although that works around this particular problem, it is vulnerable to 
future changes in Gnulib that add more such macros, and it's likely 
other Emacs source files would need similar workarounds in the future 
(or perhaps even now, in slightly-different MS-Windows configurations? I 
have no clue about the MS-Windows side).
