If you ask me, the shortest-path general-purpose fix is to insert
#if MSYS
if (pgwin32_is_junction(path))
return PGFILETYPE_DIR;
#endif
at the start of get_dirent_type. (I'm not sure how to spell the
#if test.) We could look at using dirent.c later, but I think
right now it's important to un-break the buildfarm ASAP.
