You need to add "#include <errno.h>" near the top of
src/backend/commands/copy.c, as per this patch:

http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql-server/src/backend/commands/copy.c.diff?r1=1.145.2.1&r2=1.145.2.2

    * src/backend/commands/copy.c (REL7_2_STABLE): Add #include
    <errno.h> per recent reports that it's now necessary on RHL 9.
    (Not clear why it didn't break long before, actually...)

We never put out a 7.2.5, so the change didn't see the light of day
in that branch ...

            regards, tom lane
