This seems to have broken narwhal:

Hmm. The other MinGW animals are not having that problem.

According to the MSDN docs [1], CheckTokenMembership() is defined in the Advapi32 library. In pg_ctl.c and in src/include/common/restricted_token.c, we currently do this, for another function that's in Advapi32:

/*
 * Mingw headers are incomplete, and so are the libraries. So we have to load
 * a whole lot of API functions dynamically. Since we have to do this anyway,
 * also load the couple of functions that *do* exist in minwg headers but not
 * on NT4. That way, we don't break on NT4.
 */
typedef BOOL (WINAPI * __CreateRestrictedToken) (HANDLE, DWORD, DWORD, 
PSID_AND_ATTRIBUTES, DWORD, PLUID_AND_ATTRIBUTES, DWORD, PSID_AND_ATTRIBUTES, 
PHANDLE);
typedef BOOL (WINAPI * __IsProcessInJob) (HANDLE, HANDLE, PBOOL);
typedef HANDLE (WINAPI * __CreateJobObject) (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES, LPCTSTR);
typedef BOOL (WINAPI * __SetInformationJobObject) (HANDLE, JOBOBJECTINFOCLASS, 
LPVOID, DWORD);
typedef BOOL (WINAPI * __AssignProcessToJobObject) (HANDLE, HANDLE);
typedef BOOL (WINAPI * __QueryInformationJobObject) (HANDLE, 
JOBOBJECTINFOCLASS, LPVOID, DWORD, LPDWORD);

CheckTokenMembership() is probably one of those missing functions, like CreateRestrictedToken.

I'd like to bump our minimum requirements,and stop supporting old MinGW versions that don't have those headers. I'm not sure what version they were added in, but frogmouth doesn't have this problem, and it uses gcc 4.5.0. Once we do that, we can simplify pg_ctl.c and restricted_token.c to not open advapi32.dll dynamically, and call those functions the usual way.

It's not very nice to change the requirements in a minor version, but I don't think this would be a real problem for anyone. Not many people build PostgreSQL using MinGW, let alone with an ancient version of it. But if people don't agree, we could instead revert this patch and apply the smaller V2 patch [2] instead, in the back-branches.

Thoughts? Any objections to requiring a newer version of MinGW? Any objections to do so in the next minor release?
