On Windows, src/pl/plpython/Makefile has a rule whose target line expands to something like "python33.def: C:/Windows/system32/python33.dll". When doing a

Makefile:69: *** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.

Seeing a second colon, make treats the line as a static pattern rule. Perhaps
the MinGW project ships a make patched to avoid this, or perhaps folks
building PostgreSQL override WINDIR. In any event, that dependency is not
useful: we can't build the named file if it's absent, and an error from
pexports is a good as an error from make.  Let's drop the dependency.

Note that this affects --without-python builds during "make clean".




I suspect under Msys the path seen won't contain a colon - it will be an Msys virtualized path like /c/Windows/system32/....

Apparently not, from testing. Maybe the make is patched after all.

cheers
