I guess my WAG was wrong... :,)

Under the following platform:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 TISHLERJASON 1.3.14(0.62/3/2) 2002-10-23 14:47 i686 unknown

all make installcheck tests pass except for horology. However, the
horology failure is to be expected due to the recent time change.

Unfortunately, there are some Cygwin build issues that I need to
address:

1. Cygwin bison needs to be upgraded from 1.35 to 1.75 (i.e., 1.50+) to
process src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/preproc.y successfully. I will post
to the Cygwin mailing list asking the maintainer for this upgrade.

2. The following fseeko/ftello ifdef in src/include/pg_config.h.in:

#ifndef HAVE_FSEEKO
#define fseeko(a, b, c) fseek((a), (b), (c))
#define ftello(a) ftell((a))
#endif

conflicts with the following Cygwin /usr/include/stdio.h entries:

int _EXFUN(fseeko, (FILE *, off_t, int));
off_t _EXFUN(ftello, ( FILE *));

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what is the best way to solve this one yet.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
