There we have:

#ifndef __attribute__
#define __attribute__(x)
#endif
#endif
which should make it a noop on compilers which don't know about it. Is
VS (or another file) setting __GNUC__?
Of course it helps if we spell the name right...

Subject: remote.c: spell __attribute__ correctly
We want to tell the compiler that error_buf() uses
printf()-style arguments via the __attribute__ mechanism,
but the original commit (3a429d0), forgot the trailing "__".
This happens to work with real GNUC-compatible compilers
like gcc and clang, but confuses our fallback macro in
git-compat-util.h, which only matches the official name (and
thus the build fails on compilers like Visual Studio).

Thanks for clarifying that (sorry about the crossed emails). The compile is
now looking good.
I'm just left with some unresolved external symbol link errors now.
The same naming issue in compat/regex/regcomp.c, compat/regex/regexec.c,
compat/regex/regex_internal.c and compat/regex/regex_internal.h was
probably what lead me astray...
