Bruce, Things are not that bad: I quickly looked at the signal support in mingw. The header file is singal.h instead of winsig.n, of course. The support for signals is incomplete, with no or erroneous support for floating point exceptions, missing support for integer violations (like microsoft's) etc. It is unclear if the process control will behave as expected.
In other words, mingw offers about the same level of signal support as Microsoft, via translated os exceptions. Based on my experience with the peerdirect port, that should get win32 for 7.4 out the door. From what I understand of your previous posts, postgres for 7.4 compiles but not links, are you guys using the standard mingw signal header (signal.h) for signal support? What functions have been added that require implementation? Is your win32 version of postgres available via anonymous cvs? It might be prudent to write guards around all types of division (integer or otherwise), as was the case with peerdirect integer division by zero will likely take the server down.
