Apparently I had some trouble getting it to work when I was building
1.4.2.

The method used to build the 32bit binaries was (and probably is)
using methods deprecated, according to the mingw-w64 team.

Unfortunately, I did not blog about this and now I've forgotten the
details.

One detail is that the jvm.def file, which comes with PL/Java may not
be compatible with 64bit builds - or that may just have been an extra
caution on my part. The 64bit build (re)creates it.

Another detail is that the EDB built 64bit server for Windows is (or
was) configured with --disable-float8-byval which results in an
incompateble PG_MODULE_MAGIC.

That's all I recall at the moment,
