PostgreSQL version: 11beta3
Operating system: Windows 10 64bit latest
Description:

Hi,

I am using the latest postgresql from the mirror
"https://github.com/postgres/postgres"
Latest commit 4ddd8f5

I am trying to configure "llbeta3" using

AnonymousUser(at)ANONYMOUST MINGW64 /w/R-3.5._/postgres/build
/w/R-3.5._/postgres/configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=$PWD
--enable-debug --disable-rpath --enable-depend --without-zlib

Using
tail -f config.log
vim config.log
I am seeing these results

gcc version 8.2.0 (Rev1, Built by MSYS2 project)

Option "-V" (CAPITAL V) seems to not being used correctly.

Option "-qversion" seems to not exist.

"--version" still works

About "-V", the docs ( https://linux.die.net/man/1/gcc )
say
"
Specifying Target Machine and Compiler Version

-V and -b options work by running the <machine>-gcc-<version> executable

-V version
The argument version specifies which version of GCC to run
"
So, the usage is not to query information, the usage seems to be to "set"
information.

About "-qversion", the docs ( https://linux.die.net/man/1/gcc ) say . . .
nothing!

Thanks,
