frogmouth:

pg_shmem.c: In function 'PGSharedMemoryCreate':
pg_shmem.c:205:3: warning: implicit declaration of function 'GetLargePageMinimum'
pg_shmem.c:222:38: error: 'SEC_LARGE_PAGES' undeclared (first use in this function)
pg_shmem.c:222:38: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make[3]: *** [pg_shmem.o] Error 1

so you were right to guess that this functionality isn't in XP.

I wonder whether this could be band-aided around by using "#ifdef
SEC_LARGE_PAGES" to protect the new code.  I have no particular desire to
spend effort on supporting old Windows versions, but if there's someone
out there who does, they could be asked to look into that.
