Using the include files provided with the 64bit version is giving me the
wrong Float8 type, yes, as they are the 32bit include files.

I need to build pl/java to run against the binary release of Postgres
for largely political/corporate reasons. this is to be installable as
an addon to an existing large/complex database deployment.

If I build my own ./configure and compile my own postgres binary and use
that to build this, what are the odds the module I compile will work
with the released binary?

If I had the correct include files for the binary release, I would not
be having this problem.
