I don't think there's anything clang-specific about this problem.  The same
issue can be seen with gcc.

If your application needs both Xlib and Win32 interfaces, you should include
<X11/Xwindows.h> rather than <windows.h>, which wraps any conflicting
declarations.

(xcb uses a sensible namespace, so this is not necessary for applications
which use xcb and Win32.)

You probably need the latest upstream x11proto (not yet packaged for cygwin)
for this wrapping to work correctly with the mingw-w64 w32api headers [1]

Alternatively you can work around this yourself e.g. as in [2]
