OK, but I need more information on how users will see a difference based
on this commit:

        commit bed90759fc
        Author: Tom Lane <t...@sss.pgh.pa.us>
        Date:   Fri Oct 9 16:20:12 2020 -0400
        
            Fix our Windows stat() emulation to handle file sizes > 4GB.
        
            Hack things so that our idea of "struct stat" is equivalent to 
Windows'
            struct __stat64, allowing it to have a wide enough st_size field.
        
            Instead of relying on native stat(), use 
GetFileInformationByHandle().
            This avoids a number of issues with Microsoft's multiple and rather
            slipshod emulations of stat().  We still need to jump through hoops
            to deal with ERROR_DELETE_PENDING, though :-(
        
            Pull the relevant support code out of dirmod.c and put it into
            its own file, win32stat.c.
        
            Still TODO: do we need to do something different with lstat(),
            rather than treating it identically to stat()?
