(iirc the include was introduced with the windows port, no ?)
Actually, I think the files (at least from the main source) that need those symbols
have the include in the respective .c files, but ...

Since it is only dynloader.h and plpython.c that has dlfcn.h do you think a
patch that #undef's the offending symbols before the dlfcn.h include is ok,
or is an #ifndef _AIX in c.h better ?
