Found the error:
gcc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes 
-Wmissing-declarations -I../../../src/include -DBUILDING_DLL  -c -o 
tablespace.o tablespace.c

no HAVE_SYMLINK defined, though CYGWIN should added -DHAVE_SYMLINK.

/usr/src/postgresql/postgresql-8.0.0cvs/src/backend/commands
$ gcc -E -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes 
-Wmissing-declarations -I../../../src/include  -DBUILDING_DLL  -c 
tablespace.c | grep HAVE_SYMLINK

<none>
