build: remove `MAKE_BUILD_STRINGS` function
This function causes the build message to be generated and compiled in
two different ways, with one way done inside `build_macros.mk` and the
other done inside `windows.mk`, mostly because it's done by generating
the C file on the command line.
We can instead replace this whole build message generation sequence with
a simple standard C compilation command and a normal C file.
