BUG #19541: Postgresql failed to run 150+ tests on both debug and release configurations with VS 2026 on Windows

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 19541
Logged by: Karen Huang
Email address: karenhuang2017(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 19beta1
Operating system: Windows 11
Description:

The MSVC team regularly builds popular open-source projects, including
yours, with development versions of the build tools in order to find and fix
regressions in the compiler and libraries before they can ship and cause
trouble for the world. This also allows us to provide advance notice of
breaking changes, which is the case here.

We build Postgresql with VS 2026 on Windows. It failed to run 150+ tests on
both debug and release configurations. Could you please help to take a look?
Thanks in advance!

Repro steps:
1. git clone https://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git
C:\gitP\postgres\postgres
2. C:\tools\msys64\usr\bin\pacman --noconfirm -S flex bison diffutils
3. Open VS 2026 x64 CMD.
4. cd /d C:\gitP\postgres\postgres
5. mkdir build_amd64 && cd build_amd64
6. set PATH=%PATH%;C:\tools\msys64\usr\bin
7. pip3 install meson
8. meson setup --buildtype release
9. ninja -v
10. meson test --no-suite libpq_pipeline

Test result:
The error log is quite large, so it's not practical to paste it into the
email. It also appears that we can't attach log files to this thread. Could
you please advise on the preferred way to share the complete log? We can
upload it to a file-sharing service or use any other method you recommend.
