I can't get it to fail for me, even when cross-compiling from cygwin to mingw.

Looking at that log, I don't see where the gnulib replacement string.h was 
built.  Are you using gnulib-tool --import, or are you pulling in modules 
manually?  My guess is that you are doing manual importing, and that you missed 
the step that builds the replacement string.h header, and thus putting the bug 
in patch's court rather than gnulib.
