$ ./configure --disable-shared; make all

Will fail (and still does with cvs tip). I normally use that on Linux -
I assume it should also work on Mingw.

TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives?

http://archives.postgresql.org

I was able to reproduce the failure, and the attached applied patch
fixes the problem. Seems someone just disable the libpq.a make rule in
Makefile.shlib, probably because it didn't used to work, but it does
now. I am not sure about Cygwin but our build experience so far is that
if it works on Win32, it works on Cygwin, so I enabled it for both.
