 A patch attached. The name of PGMODULEEXPORT might be arguable.

 I agree with this in principle, but won't this break every single
 add-on module out there that supports Win32?

 The patch didn't touch the contrib modules, so why would it break
 third-party sources?

Oh, d'oh. I was clearly too tired when reading that thing. I was
thinking we required changes in the contrib modules/third party
modules, but they don't actually use DLLEXPORT, do they?

In that case, that argument clearly falls, and I'm in favour of the
patch :-) Just make sure you test it on both current and semi-old
versions of mingw, they tend to not always act the same way. Or just
get it in and the buildfarm can figure that part out for us.

 Looks like the simplest way for correcting the issue is declaring additional
 macro (something like PGMODULEEXPORT)

 Sure, I agree it is a longstanding bug in PostgreSQL. Developers who use
 MSVC (not mingw) always encounter the bug; machines in the buildfarm can
 build Windows binaries just because they have non-standard equipments.
