I think the problem is more accurately described thus: Flex generated
files include <stdio.h> before "postgres.h" due to the way it lays out the
code in the output. stdio.h does something which prevents switching to
the large file model later on in postgres.h. (This manifests itself in
unistd.h, but unistd.h itself is not the problem per se.)
The proposed fix was to include the flex output in some other file (such
as the corresponding grammar file) rather than to compile it separately.
The patch just needs to be tried out.
