The root cause is the following:

o In some recent version of Cygwin, the above two lines were added
to stdio.h.
o Recently, the HAVE_FSEEKO ifdef was added to pg_config.h.in.

I don't know, but it will be fixed in Cygwin 1.3.16.

Ditto.

I hope you realize that I have done all I can to solve this problem.
Once Dave brought it to my attention, I tracked down the root cause,
devised a solution, and submitted the appropriate patch. Note that I
have no control as to when (or even if) my Cygwin patches will be
accepted and applied.
