Ok, I searched again in the official/upstream repo and found the
function fnmatch and file fnmatch.h.  In 2002 fnmatch.c was changed to
remove the function name "fnmatch" and replace it with
"gtk_fnmatch_intern" and "_gtk_fnmatch".  In the same commit fnmatch.h
was deleted.  The fpc header import apparently did not pick up these
changes.

System fnmatch wasn't going to be UTF-8 clean, neither was our version.

        * gtk/fnmatch.c gtk/gtkprivate.h gtk/gtkfilesel.c:
        System fnmatch wasn't going to be UTF-8 clean, neither
        was our version. Redo our fnmatch.c to be UTF-8, add
        test cases, fix all sorts of bugs inherited
        from the antique GNU fnmatch code. Change interface
        to get rid of fnmatch.h constants. Fixes basic
        non-workingness of filesel with non-ASCII filenames.

        * gtk/fnmatch.h: No longer needed.
