And according to several buildfarm machines, as well as quite a few
other folks who have managed to build things successfully. You need to
get over this concept of "Postgres is broken" and try to identify a
specific reason why your DLL builds are not working.
One thing you might try is looking at the build logs for the Windows
buildfarm members
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl
to see if you can spot what they're doing differently than you are.
Check out the contrib-module builds in particular, because I doubt there
are any of them that aren't doing palloc.
