Dead link to MinGW in Windows documentation
From https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/install-windows-full.html --
Both Bison and Flex are included in the msys tool suite, available from
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS as part of the MinGW compiler suite.
Aforementioned link is to a domain squatter.
Perhaps MSYS2 could be used instead? https://packages.msys2.org/base
Which is used for the official builds on EnterpriseDB?

Agreed, that seems like a better URL to refer to. Unless there are objections
I will fix that in all supported branches.

+1.
Note that there are two references to mingw.org -- also one in
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/installation-platform-notes.html as
well. They should both be fixed.

If one is to recommend MSYS2, after downloading and installing it, the
command to install bison and flex is just:
pacman -S flex bison
Then the bins end up (by default) in C:\MSYS64\usr\bin
