Isn't that what libpostgres.a is used for?
(double-checks)
Ok. Egg on face. libpostgres.a is just the import library for
postgres.exe. I knew that. It just slipped my mind at a bad time.

Ok. So the problem is that functions from libpgport aren't included in
postgres.def, and thus not in libpostgres.a. It seems that can be fixed
with the following patch, which is probably a whole lot close to being
right than what I did before:

*** Makefile    21 Jul 2004 20:34:44 -0000      1.103
--- Makefile    31 Jul 2004 20:03:08 -0000
