I noticed a while ago that I could not build Git's master in Git for Windows' SDK when using GCC v8.x. This became a much less pressing problem when I discovered a serious bug that would not let us compile with ASLR/DEP enabled (the resulting executables would just throw segmentation faults left and right), so I put these patches on the backburner for a while. But now GCC v8.x is fixed, and MSYS2 even switched to GCC v9.x (which found yet another problem that I fix in patch 4/4 of this patch series). So it is time to get Git's master ready.
