What configure command did you run, exactly?
My build line for crypt.c is:
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -g
-I../../src/port -DFRONTEND -I../../src/include
-I./src/include/port/win32 -DEXEC_BACKEND  -I/mingw/include/krb5
"-I../../src/include/port/win32"  -c -o crypt.o crypt.c

notice how it has a second -I for port/win32, with proper .. prefix,  which yuors seem to be
missing.

configure --without-zlib

I did solve the problem(?) by downloading the full distribution and using it
rather than the base distribution.  With the full distribution everything
worked just as expected.

Would there be a difference in how configure should be used between the two
options?

It sort of looks like you are trying to compile a Windows distro of the
source code on a 'Nix box to me...

Hi all,

I have installed version 8.2.1 and downloaded the source tree in order to
compile a number of C-functions.

I have been compiling from source for contrib files and c-functions since
version 7.3 without problem.

I downloaded postgresql-base-8.2.1.tar.gz and unzipped it into the
PostgreSQL Program Files directory.

I ran configure without problem, but when I run make I get the following
error:

    $ make
    make -C doc all
    make[1]: Entering directory `/c/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/postgresql-8.2.1/doc'
    make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/postgresql-8.2.1/doc'
    make -C src all
    make[1]: Entering directory `/c/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/postgresql-8.2.1/src'
    make -C port all
    make[2]: Entering directory `/c/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/postgresql-8.2.1/src/port'
    gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -fno-strict-aliasing

I./src/include/port/win32 -DEXEC_BACKEND   -c -o crypt.o crypt.c
    In file included from ../../src/include/c.h:826,
                     from crypt.c:44:

    ../../src/include/port.h:18:17: pwd.h: No such file or directory

    ../../src/include/port.h:334:23: arpa/inet.h: No such file or directory
    make[2]: *** [crypt.o] Error 1
    make[2]: Leaving directory `/c/Program

    make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/postgresql-8.2.1/src'
    make: *** [all] Error 2

The files that cannot be found are in the source tree.

Ths has me stumped.

Am I forgetting something obvious??

Thanks,
George
