It looks like dlltool does not like the .def file:

dllwrap -Wl,--enable-auto-import -o cygpgtypes.dll --dllname cygpgtypes.dll --def libpgtypesdll.def numeric.o datetime.o common.o dt_common.o timestamp.o interval.o pgstrcasecmp.o -L../../../../src/port -L/usr/local/lib -lm
dlltool: Syntax error in def file libpgtypesdll.def:3
dlltool: Syntax error in def file libpgtypesdll.def:3
dlltool --dllname cygpgtypes.dll --def libpgtypesdll.def --output-lib libpgtypes.a
dlltool: Syntax error in def file libpgtypesdll.def:3

Line 3 of that file is unadorned "EXPORTS":

echo '; DEF file for MS VC++' > libpgtypesdll.def
echo 'LIBRARY LIBPGTYPES' >> libpgtypesdll.def
echo 'EXPORTS' >> libpgtypesdll.def

The error that actually finishes the build is below:

gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -g -I../include -I../../../../src/interfaces/ecpg/include -I../../../../src/interfaces/libpq -I../../../../src/port -I../../../../src/include -DBUILDING_DLL -c -o thread.o thread.c
dllwrap -Wl,--enable-auto-import -o cygecpg.dll --dllname cygecpg.dll --def libecpgdll.def execute.o typename.o descriptor.o data.o error.o prepare.o memory.o connect.o misc.o path.o thread.o -L../pgtypeslib -L../../../../src/interfaces/libpq -L../../../../src/port -L/usr/local/lib -lpgtypes -lpq -lm
execute.o: In function `ecpg_store_input':
/home/AndrewDunstan/bf/root/HEAD/pgsql.2768/src/interfaces/ecpg/ecpglib/execute.c:979: undefined reference to `_PGTYPEStimestamp_to_asc'
[...]

I wonder why the dlltool failure is not causing the build to fail
immediately?
