How about dropping it in src/backend/port/win32/mingwcompat.c ?

The advantage of putting it in src/port/ is that it would possibly
help client-side code sometime in future. But what seems more likely
to happen is that the mingw people will fix their oversight, and
then we'd be risking link conflicts, which will be harder to fix on
the client side. So I'm inclined to not go there as long as we
don't actually need it on client side. But putting mingw hacks
in a mingw-specific place seems a good idea.
