mcxt.h

I tried to create a new user-defined type. I use palloc() to create
storage for this type so I include palloc.h however, this generates
the following error.

[postgres(at)druid:contrib/chkpass] $ make
cc -g -O -fPIC -I/usr/local/pgsql/include -c chkpass.c
In file included from /usr/local/pgsql/include/postgres.h:44,
from chkpass.c:9:
/usr/local/pgsql/include/utils/palloc.h:30: utils/mcxt.h: No such file or directory

If I copy mcxt.h there I get this error.

[postgres(at)druid:contrib/chkpass] $ make
cc -g -O -fPIC -I/usr/local/pgsql/include -c chkpass.c
In file included from /usr/local/pgsql/include/utils/palloc.h:30,
from /usr/local/pgsql/include/postgres.h:44,
from chkpass.c:9:
/usr/local/pgsql/include/utils/mcxt.h:25: syntax error before `MemoryContext'

If I remove the include from palloc.h I have problems with the use of
palloc because the macro expands to use CurrentMemoryContext which is
declared in mcxt.h. Anyone know what the correct answer to this problem
might be?
