Historically, MinGW environments lacked some Windows API calls, so we took a different code path in win32_langinfo(). Somehow, the code change in commit 35eeea62 (removing setlocale() calls) caused one particular 001_initdb.pl test to fail on MinGW + ICU builds, because pg_import_system_collations() found no collations. It might take a MinGW user to discover the exact reason. Updating that function to use the same code as MSVC seems to fix that test, so lets do that. (There are plenty more places that test for MSVC unnecessarily, to be investigated later.) While here, also rename the helper function win32_langinfo() to win32_get_codeset(), to explain what it does less confusingly; it's not really a general langinfo() substitute. Noticed by triggering the optional MinGW CI task; no build farm animals failed. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BhUKGKBWfhXQ3J%2B2Lj5PhKvQnGD%3DsywA0XQcb7boTCf%3DerVLg%40mail.gmail.com

libpgport
=========
libpgport must have special behavior. It supplies functions to both
libraries and applications. However, there are two complexities:
1) Libraries need to use object files that are compiled with exactly
the same flags as the library. libpgport might not use the same flags,
so it is necessary to recompile the object files for individual
libraries. This is done by removing -lpgport from the link line:
# Need to recompile any libpgport object files
LIBS := $(filter-out -lpgport, $(LIBS))
and adding infrastructure to recompile the object files:
OBJS= execute.o typename.o descriptor.o data.o error.o prepare.o memory.o \
connect.o misc.o path.o exec.o \
$(filter strlcat.o, $(LIBOBJS))
The problem is that there is no testing of which object files need to be
added, but missing functions usually show up when linking user
applications.
2) For applications, we use -lpgport before -lpq, so the static files
from libpgport are linked first. This avoids having applications
dependent on symbols that are _used_ by libpq, but not intended to be
exported by libpq. libpq's libpgport usage changes over time, so such a
dependency is a problem. Windows, Linux, and macOS use an export
list to control the symbols exported by libpq.
