Thanks, I have been looking at the build farm but I missed this one.
dory, which uses VS 2015 is not complaining because it does not run
bincheck.  At quick glance, it seems to be caused by process_file() in
pgbench.c which would need to open files in text mode, and the input
file parsing fails at the first '\' character found.  I'll test that
stuff on tomorrow morning manually.
