You are getting an error about Stat being redefined but I don't see any mention of you looking at the definitions of Stat. I did a quick look and found that the one in win32.h goes like this:

#undef     Stat
#define  Stat        win32_stat
[download]

so it appears that win32.h expects to be included after dosish.h.

So I'd investigate why they are being included in the wrong order.

All copies of perl.h that I have handy only mention perl_os_thread in lines like

typedef pthread_t perl_os_thread;
[download]

and typedef is a reserved word in C so I don't see how you could get that error unless pthread_t is #defined to be something that at least contains whitespace. You might want to use -E (or whatever) to see what output the C preprocessor is producing.
