Just to be clear, this is related to your work on LAMP under Classic  
and not OS X, correct?  If so, perhaps you need to create a compat/ 
classic_mac.h file that's included (when the correct #defines are  
seen) from git-compat-util.h in the manner of compat/ 
{cygwin,mingw}.h.  I'm assuming that this naming conflict is not the  
only such you'll find and it's better to keep platform specific tweaks  
to a single place when possible.
