With https://github.com/anarazel/postgres/commit/046203741803da863f6129739fd215f8a32ec357 all tests pass. pg_regress requires PG_REGRESS_SOCK_DIR because it checks for TMPDIR, but windows only has TMP and TEMP. > > Makes sense.

Perhaps it could make sense to print the windows version somewhere as part of a windows build? Perhaps in the buildfarm client? Seems like it could be generally useful, outside of this specific issue. The most minimal thing would be to just print cmd /c ver or such. systeminfo.exe output could also be useful, but has a bit of runtime (1.5s on my windows VM). Greetings, Andres Freund
