Re: BUG #5707: Cross compilation for windows is broken

Hmm, apparently this was made to work here:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=26af72b4

and subsequently broken later:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=234c7ce9

I think the real fix is to make the DEF files be generated in the
builddir, to complete the intention of the latter patch.
