Tom,

Does it with all extensions, not just PostGIS (before I could swap between
say for example hstore mingw compiled and VC compiled and had no issue).
The Load function as you guessed shows in the extension .dll postgres.exe
reference but not clear where to tell where that is coming thru.

I'm compiling PostgreSQL the same way in both 9.3 and 9.4:

With something that looks like this:
export MINGHOST=i686-w64-mingw32
PG_VER=9.4

./configure --prefix=${PROJECTS}/postgresql/rel/pg${PG_VER}\
--build=${MINGHOST} \
--with-pgport=8443 --disable-float8-byval --enable-cassert
--enable-debug \
--enable-integer-datetimes --without-zlib

With just the PG_VER being different.

What I did notice is that in 9.3, the config.log shows this for

9.4:
LDFLAGS=-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition -Wl,--disable-auto-import
-Wl,--as-needed

and
9.3:
LDFLAGS=-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition -Wl,--as-needed

You know what would cause those to change between versions?

I thought maybe the --disable-auto-import was doing something.

I'm trying to override the flag now to see if it makes a difference, but
having difficulty changing what I am seeing in the config.log

When I do any of the below:
export LDFLAGS=-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition -Wl,--enable-auto-import
-Wl,--as-needed
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition -Wl,--enable-auto-import
-Wl,--as-needed"
export LDFLAGS=-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition -Wl,--as-needed

Thanks,
Regina
