I believe that the above is a bug in sqlca.h.  My WAG (without actually
trying this) is that the above should be replaced by the following:

#ifdef __CYGWIN__
    extern __declspec(dllimport) struct sqlca sqlca;
#else
    extern struct sqlca sqlca;

or by

#ifdef __CYGWIN__
    extern DLLIMPORT struct sqlca sqlca;
#else
    extern struct sqlca sqlca;

if c.h can be safely included.

Don't worry sqlca *is* exported from ecpg.dll:

    $ objdump -p /usr/bin/ecpg.dll | fgrep sqlca
            [  28] init_sqlca
            [  29] sqlca

Actually, sqlca *is* in the import library but it is called
"__imp__sqlca" as it should be.

Does changing your sqlca.h as above fix your problem.  If so, then I
will submit a patch to the pgsql-ports mailing list.

Are there other ESQL related symbols that need the __declspec(dllimport)
attribute too?
