Short Description
tab-complete.o: filename_completion_function reference not found when make'ing either 7.1.2 or 7.1.3 under Windows 2000

Long Description
I've been trying to install postgres as a development database on my local machine. So I followed the instructions.

1) I downloaded and installed the "latest" version of Cygwin today.
2) I downloaded the CygIpc .bz2 package; re-ran Cygwin setup and installed it.
3) I ran the ipc daemon from the bash command line.
4) Downloaded, unzipped, and untar'd postgres 7.1.3 (the full version).
5) cd'd into the base directory; ./configure ran fine. make failed when it hit the following line (to link psql)...

gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations command.o common.o help.o input.o stringutils.o mainloop.o copy.o startup.o prompt.o variables.o large_obj.o print.o describe.o tab-complete.o -L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -L
/usr/local/lib -g -lz -lcrypt -lreadline -lcygipc -o psql
tab-complete.o(.text+0x2a36):tab-complete.c: undefined reference to `filename_completion_function'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [psql] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/install/postgresql-7.1.2/src/bin/psql'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/install/postgresql-7.1.2/src/bin'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/install/postgresql-7.1.2/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

6) I went looking for the missing function with a grep command from the base directory. Here's what I got back...

$ grep filename_completion_function `find . | grep .c$`
grep: ./contrib/mac: Invalid request code
grep: ./contrib/retep/uk/org/retep/util/misc: Invalid request code
grep: ./contrib/retep/uk/org/retep/xml/jdbc: Invalid request code
grep: ./doc: Invalid request code
grep: ./doc/src: Invalid request code
grep: ./src: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/backend/storage/ipc: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/backend/utils/misc: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/bin/pgaccess/doc: Invalid request code
./src/bin/psql/tab-complete.c:extern char *filename_completion_function();
./src/bin/psql/tab-complete.c: matches = completion_matches(text, filename_completion_function);
grep: ./src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/interfaces/jdbc: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/geometric: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/interfaces/odbc: Invalid request code
grep: ./src/pl/plpgsql/src: Invalid request code

Basically, it found a local extern declaration in tab-complete.c, but no actual implementation of the function.

Where does "filename_completion_function" live?
