I removed the cygwin from path, but it does not help !
It looks like "ac_config_links" does not work with win2000 (MinGW-2.0.0.3),
because none of the :
src/backend/port/dynloader.c
src/backend/port/pg_sema.c
src/backend/port/pg_shmem.c
src/include/dynloader.h
src/include/pg_config_os.h
src/Makefile.port
are not created(linked)
Acording to autoconf manual ac_config_links: "Makes a symbolic link if
possible, otherwise a hard link."

After manualy linking files with :
ln src/makefiles/Makefile.win32 src/Makefile.port
ln src/backend/port/dynloader/win32.c src/backend/port/dynloader.c
ln src/backend/port/dynloader/win32.h src/include/dynloader.h
ln src/include/port/win32.h src/include/pg_config_os.h
ln src/backend/port/sysv_sema.c src/backend/port/pg_sema.c
ln src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c src/backend/port/pg_shmem.c

it compiles !

I asume that this is not error in postgresql makefiles, but some problem
with minGW.
I'll try to figure it out, maybe question to minGW list would help.

Regards !
