This code generates warnings on both Linux and Windows.  My C
is too rusty to feel confident of what to do.

On Linux:

md.c:445: warning: implicit declaration of function `GetLastError'

On Windows:

md.c:445: warning: int format, DWORD arg (arg 6)
md.c:457: warning: int format, DWORD arg (arg 7)

How should I proceed?

You might want to insert some debugging elog's into mdread() in md.c,
rather than in its caller smgrread.  I'm concerned that by the time
control comes back to smgrread, the Windows last-error might have
been changed; in any case, we'd not know exactly which of the steps
in mdread failed.  I'd suggest something like

    if (FileSeek(v->mdfd_vfd, seekpos, SEEK_SET) != seekpos)
+    {
+        elog(LOG, "seek failed on relation %u/%u/%u: %d",
+             reln->smgr_rnode.spcNode,
+             reln->smgr_rnode.dbNode,
+             reln->smgr_rnode.relNode,
+             GetLastError());
        return false;
+    }

    status = true;
    if ((nbytes = FileRead(v->mdfd_vfd, buffer, BLCKSZ)) != BLCKSZ)
    {
+        elog(LOG, "read failed on relation %u/%u/%u: %d bytes,
%d",
+             reln->smgr_rnode.spcNode,
+             reln->smgr_rnode.dbNode,
+             reln->smgr_rnode.relNode,
+             nbytes,
+             GetLastError());
        /*
         * If we are at or past EOF, return zeroes without
complaining. Also
         * substitute zeroes if we found a partial block at EOF.

(untested, but something like this should do it)
