I'm not near my Windows PC right now, but if memory serves the 
name clash occurs in the following places:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/master/src/backend/strtold.c?source=cc#L138

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/master/src/root/longdouble.h#L201

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/master/src/backend/strtold.c#L567

I do not recall "Port::strtold" being a problem, other than that 
(if I recall correctly) it forwards to the conflicting function.
