The lightbulb just went on: in win32.h,

#define mkdir(a,b) mkdir(a)

I didn't go through in complete detail, but I'll bet all the "working"
instances are in mkdir calls, or else inside #ifndef WIN32.

I think we can just #define the other cases as zeroes. I'm not sure why
you think that's an issue for open --- the privileges don't exist.
