On Windows, src/pl/plpython/Makefile has a rule whose target line expands to

MinGW build with Cygwin's make-3.81, that line elicits an error:
Makefile:69: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.
Seeing a second colon, make treats the line as a static pattern rule. Perhaps
the MinGW project ships a make patched to avoid this, or perhaps folks
building PostgreSQL override WINDIR. In any event, that dependency is not
useful: we can't build the named file if it's absent, and an error from
pexports is a good as an error from make. Let's drop the dependency.
Note that this affects --without-python builds during "make clean".
I suspect under Msys the path seen won't contain a colon - it will be an
Msys virtualized path like /c/Windows/system32/....
Frankly, this is an unsupported toolchain. The supported toolchains
under Windows are Msys/Mingw and the Microsoft toolsets.
OTOH, I don't object to dropping a dependency that is truly useless.
