I'm not so sure.  On Windows, prefix_filename() starts with

	char *p;
	/* don't add prefix to absolute paths, but still replace '\' by '/' */
	if (is_absolute_path(arg))
		pfx_len = 0;
	else
		memcpy(path, pfx, pfx_len);

and memcpy() has undefined behavior when pfx is NULL (even with
pfx_len of 0; see WG14/N1256: 7.21.1 "String function conventions").
Even if the win32api memcpy does the right thing with NULL pfx, I
cannot trust GCC when they are given that kind of license. :)
