This isn't about _mkdir, this is about mkdir.
Is mkdir declared in MinGW64 unistd.h? If so, can you please show its
declaration from unistd.h?
Also, what other headers are included in MinGW64 unistd.h?
I dislike using Windows-specific headers in general source files.
MinGW unistd.h (which is absent from MS SDK's) was created for that
very purpose. If MinGW64 is breaking that, IMO it's a MinGW64 bug
that needs to be reported to them, while we look for the cleanest way
of fixing this annoyance.
