I think you need to ask on the cygwin lists.  If you're compiling
this on Windows 2000 you already need a compiler to compile it.

I would just find the binary distribution and install that.

Re: cygwin gcc  problem.
I'm trying to compile postgresql on Windows 2000.  I've followed the directions accordingly.

When I run the "configure" script, and I get the following error message:


configure: error  installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot creat
e executables.

If anyone has any clues, I'd greatly appreciate the assistance.

Thanks,
Gary
