Sorry, but I have no idea why you are having build problems but the
following in Driver.java is very suspicious:

[javac] C:\postgresql-7.1.2\src\interfaces\jdbc\org\postgresql\Driver.java:
99: ';' expected
[javac] return ${major};
[javac] ^
[javac] C:\postgresql-7.1.2\src\interfaces\jdbc\org\postgresql\Driver.java:
09: ';' expected
[javac] return ${minor};

When I grep through my Driver.java, I cannot find any occurrences
of ${major} or ${minor}. I believe that they should be 7 and 1,
respectively. Somehow your configure/make went awry.

Nevertheless, why don't you just use the Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.1.2
distribution that contains a pre-built postgresql.jar? You find
postgresql-7.1.2-1.tar.gz on a Cygwin mirror:
