You should just use "make", the "cmake" build method is currently in
some limbo. See my
https://lore.kernel.org/git/221227.86pmc4vrk3.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com/
for a recent overview/questions about it.

Since I wrote that 0949eba7fd0 (diagnose: another dup2() leak,
2022-12-06) landed on git.git's master, so we don't run it ourselves in
CI, even for Windows (which it was intended for).

As noted in previous exchanges I wouldn't mind fixing it up to work on
more platforms, but Junio wasn't enthusiastic about those patches &
dropped them.

Alternatively I think the best thing to do is to "git rm" it from
git.git, and leave it to git-for-windows. From what I understood from
Johannes he preferred that plan.

Or rather, that GFW would be fixing it up, but then I don't see why it
should be in git.git, which as your message shows just leads to
confusion about why this component is in git.git's tree.
