honestly I have no clue. The file is a pthread clone we use on windows. 
Since there only is one #include directive above the point where it 
complains (i.e. #include <windows.h>), the variables must be defined in 
there. You could check the include path "make -n" and see if the file is 
in the right path. If you interprete line 156 to  172, you realize that 
__MINGW32__ and __cplusplus must be defined for the windows.h to be 
included. I have no clue what those variables mean, but maybe setting 
them could be an option.

You can also do the following:

cd src/Basic
touch basictask.cc
make SRC.cc=basictask.cc -n

You will get a listing that looks something like this:
rm -f lslux
echo "  Making Basic / lux64 (Oct 12 16:41:19) DEBUG=yes." | tee -a lslux
echo "Compiling basictask.cc ... " | tee -a lslux
g++ -c -ggdb3  -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DSYSV -Dlux64 
-D__debug__ -Dlux -Dlux64 -D__shared__ -fsigned-char -Wconversion 
-Wimplicit -Wparentheses -Wreturn-type -Werror -Wno-non-template-friend 
-Wshadow -fPIC -I/users/kristofer/devel/work/od/include 
-I/users/kristofer/devel/work/od/include/Basic   basictask.cc -o 
/tmp/basictask.o 1>>lslux 2>&1
ar rv /users/kristofer/devel/work/od/lib/lux64/G/libBasic.a 
/tmp/basictask.o 1>>lslux 2>&1
rm -f /tmp/basictask.o
....

Take the g++ row and paste it on the command line and do the following 
changes: replace "-c" with "-E" and replace "-o /tmp/basictask.o" with 
"-o basictask.pre".
When the command changes are done, you can run the compiler with the 
changed parameters. The compiler will not compile the file, but only do 
the preprocessing. The file basictask.pre will be a very long, hard to 
read file where all the included files will be inserted. You should 
however be able to see wether windows.h has been included or not.

I hope this leads you closer to the source of your problem,
