If you don't actually include any code through static linking and it 
doesn't require an extra dynamic library to be installed then you are 
probably OK.  If the GPL prohibited using the stock system libraries and 
kernel interfaces you wouldn't be able to the standard version of rsync 
on windows either.  The restrictions are about code that needs to be 
included and thus falling under the 'work as a whole' license 
requirement.  I was assuming that the SDK included (and required) 
library code that wasn't shipped with windows.
