Manuel,

Please post instead of sending private email.  However, your timing is
impeccable.  I just got around (yesterday) to building PostgreSQL under
the latest Cygwin gcc2 and gcc packages.

The "-I/usr/local/include" is causing configure to get confused and
mis-configure PostgreSQL which causes the following (and other)
problems:

Yes.

To build PostgreSQL 7.2.3 under gcc2, use the following procedure:

    1. apply attached postgresql-7.2.3-gcc2.patch
       $ patch -p1 <postgresql-7.2.3-gcc2.patch

    2. define CC and LDFLAGS as appropriate on configure command line:
       $ CC=gcc-2 LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib configure ...

To build PostgreSQL 7.2.3 under gcc (i.e gcc 3.2), use the following
procedure:

    1. apply attached postgresql-7.2.3-gcc3.patch
       $ patch -p1 <postgresql-7.2.3-gcc3.patch

    2. define LDFLAGS as appropriate on configure command line:
       $ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib configure ...

Note:

    1. PostgreSQL CVS (i.e., 7.3) builds OOTB under Cygwin CVS (i.e.,
       1.3.16) and Perl 5.8.0.
    2. PostgreSQL 7.2.3's plperl fails to build (against Perl 5.6.1)
       with either the latest gcc2 or gcc.  I do not intend to track
       this issue down.
