Yes, but distclean and deleting auto-generated files won't work.

Here is a result of printf-debug for process_postgres_switches() in postgres.c.
   WARNING:  postgres: pid=3360   WARNING:  startup packet[0] = postgres   WARNING:  startup packet[1] = postgres
   WARNING:  postgres: pid=3360   WARNING:  startup packet[0] = postgres   WARNING:  startup packet[1] = -c   WARNING:
startuppacket[2] = intervalstyle=postgres_verbose   WARNING:  getopt(p) = ostgres   FATAL:  attempted change of
parameter"port" ignored
 

The first argument 'postgres' was interpreted as "-p ostgres" by getopt().

We might need to re-initilaize variables for getopt() because we call
process_postgres_switches twice(). So getopt() is also called twice.
But optind=1 has no effect in my environment and optind=0 crashes
backend with stack-overflow...
(Are there any known bugs in mingw's getopt?)


BTW, the following code seems to be a bit storange.
The part of { argv++; argc--; } removes the first arugment,
but '--single' argument (argv[1]) is not removed, no?
if (secure){    gucsource = PGC_S_ARGV;            /* switches came from command line */
    /* Ignore the initial --single argument, if present */    if (argc > 1 && strcmp(argv[1], "--single") == 0)    {
   argv++;        argc--;    }}
