Windows/MinGW:

$ gcc -E -dD -DNO_FNMATCH compat/fnmatch/fnmatch.c | grep NULL compat/fnmatch/fnmatch.c:29:21: error: fnmatch.h: No such file or directory #define __MINGW_ATTRIB_NONNULL(arg) __attribute__ ((__nonnull__ (arg))) #undef __need_NULL #define __need_NULL #undef NULL #define NULL ((void *)0) #undef __need_NULL

The "#define NULL ((void *)0)"-line comes from stddef.h, which is included from string.h, which in turn is included by fnmatch.c.
