Did you install cygipc 1.09?

Did you install gcc and/or binutils? Check out the end of config.log,
it will help you debug the problem.

I strongly recommend installing *all* of the Cygwin packages unless you
are very experienced with Cygwin.

BTW, please post to pgsql-ports(at)postgresql(dot)org instead of emailing me
directly so others can benefit too.

Thanks,
Jason
