I'm actually rather curious what functionality you are extending in Postgres

Always a good place to start!

Best place to start is snagging a copy of the Tianocore EDK2 source code
and compiling it under Linux.  From there you should start to see what
the problems are and start being able to understand the direction things
need to go in.
