Building latest on Windows: error in unistd.h

I just updated to the latest master (eb42c4b099c171) and did make bootstrap
in my mingw64 terminal (Windows 10), but I get the following  "Please
include config.h first" error:

make[2]: Entering directory '/c/Users/garyo/src/emacs/emacs/lib-src'

My configure line looks like this:

./configure --with-jpeg --with-xpm --with-png --with-tiff --with-rsvg
--with-xml2 --with-gnutls --without-imagemagick
--prefix=c:/emacs/emacs-trunk-2021

Something missing/misconfigured on my end I guess?

How come lib/unistd.h is at all generated and used in your MinGW
build?  It isn't supposed to be, we use unistd.h that comes with
MinGW.

Please try to figure out why configure decided to generate
lib/unistd.h.  Crystal ball says you updated your MinGW64 headers not
long ago, and something there causes that.

nt/gnulib-cfg.mk has this:

  OMIT_GNULIB_MODULE_unistd = true

which should force Gnulib not to generate the unistd.h header.  Why
doesn't it work for you?
