Hi
I am on my 32bit Windows XP SP3 now, using a non-admin user named postgres,
configure and make pass, but make install failed,

configure --without-zlib --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
--with-system-tzdata=/usr/share/zoneinfo --prefix=D:/psqlbin
.....

$make

......

$ make install
D:/Amber/Devtool/MinGW64-1.0-20100913/bin/make -C src install
make[1]: Entering directory `d:/amber/devproj/postgresql-9.0.2/src'
/bin/mkdir -p 'D:/psqlbin/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src'
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, /bin/mkdir -p D:/psqlbin/lib/postgresql/pgxs/
src, ...) failed.
make (e=3): System can't find the specified path (translated from Chinese by me)
make[1]: *** [installdirs-local] Error 3
make[1]: Leaving directory `d:/amber/devproj/postgresql-9.0.2/src'
make: *** [install] Error 2

User postgres has full access previlige on D:/psqlbin directory

I'll try on my 64bit Win7 home basic later.
