[moving lists]
First, this question should not be on the -patches list. Please read the
mailing list descriptions carefully before posting and use the right one
- in this case probably the -hackers-win32 list.
IPv6 is a build time setting, and it appears that the current build
environment used for Windows (or at least mine) does not support IPv6.
It looks for struct sockaddr_in6 and fails to find it, apparently.
In fact, I am surprised that your postmaster doesn't complain if you put
an IPv6 address in pg_hba.conf.
