Comment(by robe):

 I thought maybe it was none of the functions in libpgcommon were being
 picked up, but it seems its just the ones in lwgeom_transform.c.  The
 lwgeom_pg.c that have DATUMS e.g. lwgeom_pg.h seem to have installed fine
 since I can use ST_Force_4D etc. from PostgreSQL using this binary.

 I did get a notice about proj can't be dynamically linked or something so
 perhaps that is a signal.  I don't recall seeing that notice before this
 move to libpgcommon, but it is possible I just wasn't paying attention.

 {{{

 }}}

 I am puzzled though -- why does lwgeom_pg.h have the DATUMS for
 lwgeom_pg.c, but yet lwgeom_transform.c the DATUMS are just thrown in
 there instead of in the header file.  Is there a reason for what seems to
 me like an inconsistency?  I tried moving over the DATUMS to the
 lwgeom_transform.h and it compiled, but didn't seem to solve my problem.

 HINT HINT: Mark C., if you are paying attention -- now would be a really
 good time to express your words of wisdom since you know more about this
 mingw stuff than any of us.
