The Gnulib's unistd.h should not be generated in the MinGW builds.
The file nt/gnulib-cfg.mk has this line:

  OMIT_GNULIB_MODULE_unistd = true

which causes the build process not to generate lib/unistd.h from
lib/unistd.in.h.  You need to investigate why this file was
nevertheless generated on your system.  Perhaps that tree was
previously used for building another configuration, and you didn't say
"make extraclean" before reconfiguring?  Or maybe something is wrong
with your build environment?

I'd start with cloning a fresh Git repository and trying anew.

Bottom line: the problem is most probably specific to your system.

Thanks.
