I had the same problem when tested the the .jar creation under cygwin.

It seems that the source tree comes with a Driver.java included, which has those statements (magically inserted :). A "make clean" followed by a "make" in src/interfaces/jdbc, solves this error, because in org/postgresql exists a Driver.java.in, which generates the real Driver.java an actual build needs.

The presence of the original Driver.java prevents this generation, leading to the above problem.
