Well, in looking at the config log (thanks for including it!), the
following seems to be suggesting that:

a) Yes, you *do* have the server #includes installed (I can see it
   referencing PostgreSQL server includes, successfully).

   So the problem *isn't* relating to not having properly referenced
   pgincludeserverdir.

b) ERROR being redefined seems troublesome.

It seems as though you have some extra #includes being drawn in that
are causing a conflict.

In particular, you probably ought to see what is in
".../include/wingdi.h", as that is evidently in conflict with
definitions in PostgreSQL #include <server/utils/elog.h>.  I have no
idea what "wingdi.h" is; evidently it's not compatible...
