What version of fedora/mingw exactly?

Hmm, anything interesting in the part of the build log where libpgport.a
gets made?

Postgres is known to build on mingw
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl
so one way to attack the problem is to figure out what's different
between your installation and the ones on those mingw buildfarm machines.
