Attached simple patch reverts this, as it clearly broke cygwin.
Still can't get it to build on cygwin though, but I doubt it's the fault
of the win32 patch... With ./configure, I get:
checking for random... yes
checking for rint... yes
checking for srandom... yes
But if I look in the generated pg_config.h I have:
/* Define to 1 if you have the `random' function. */
/* #undef HAVE_RANDOM */
and similar for SRANDOM. This gives a "conflicting types for random"
between port.h line 314 and stdlib.h line 24.
Hopefully that's something broken in my cygwin environment only (a fresh
one installed, but I really don't know cygwin enough to comment on if I
broke something :-P), in which case someone with an already working
cygwin environment should be able to build again after this one.
