It's on my list to discuss it with Magnus when we meet in Italy tomorrow. The simple fix is to back out the change that broke it, which leaves us in our previous broken-but-less-severely state (which is what we did for the binary packages).
If you mean reverting the patch that Mangus mentioned, I tried that, and it did not solve the problem. See:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-09/msg01517.php So I'm guessing it is something else.
This is in *URGENT* need of a fix.I can't see us pushing a point release for this alone (I think I've seen two reports of people running into the problem when building from source themselves, and one was internal here in EDB), so the urgency is simply to ensure it's fixed before we do produce our next release imho.
Well - building your own Postgres 8.3 on Windows using MingW appears broken. Not sure how many people fall into that category, but its seems like a fairly major issue.
