This is better tracked here: https://github.com/laurenz/oracle_fdw/issues/754

By the way, I took a double take when I read your report.
For me "developing" a FDW means writing the code, whereas you are clearly
talking about what I would call "building", "compiling" or "instaling"
the FDW.  No problem, I just want to avoid confusion.
