I am able to reproduce the error. This error was introduced at meson v1.2.0, v1.1.0 and before work successfully. It seems meson tries to use pch files although Postgres is compiled with b_pch=false. This error occurs when Developer Powershell for VS is used and Postgres is compiled with b_pch=false option (which is the default on Postgres). If the -Db_pch=true option or the default powershell is used, Postgres gets built successfully.
