Do people still use MinGW for any real work? Could we just drop walreceiver support from MinGW builds? Or maybe we should consider splitting walreceiver into two parts after all. Only the bare minimum that needs to access libpq would go into the shared object, and the rest would be linked with the backend as usual.
I use MinGW when doing Windows work (e.g. the threading piece in parallel pg_restore). And I think it is generally desirable to be able to build on Windows using an open source tool chain. I'd want a damn good reason to abandon its use. And I don't like the idea of not supporting walreceiver on it either. Please find another solution if possible.
