Yes, probably something like that. I think it failed the first time
because there was a bug (the one I introduced in a967613911f7), then
probably changed to src/backend and ran compiles there which probably
worked fine, leading to commit fa838b555f90. I might or might not have
removed the complete build dir instead of "make distclean"; not sure
TBH. As I recall, I tried a couple of builds after I pushed the fix
commit and couldn't get them to run at all. But since I saw in
buildfarm that other mingw builds were working, I lost interest. Then I
deleted the mingw build tree and didn't get back to retrying.

TBH the only reason I mingled with mingw at all is that nobody seems
interested in fixing Win32 issues, and this patch had been lingering for
far too long.

I never build in the source tree, so this is pretty unlikely.

None.
