The attached patch fixes a problem with InstallXLogFileSegment()'s use
of link() under Cygwin:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-04/msg00072.php
Note that it appears that BeOS and Netware also have the above or
similar problem.
I have only verified that PostgreSQL builds under Cygwin with this patch.
Since I cannot reproduce the problem, I cannot verify that the proposed
patch solves it. Nevertheless, both Barry Pederson and David P. Caldwell
attest that this patch solves the problem. See the following for details:
