The above is caused because no symbols are being exported from
_pgmodule.dll.  The attached patch should solved this problem.  However,
I did *not* actually test it.

Note that the source that you are using for pgmodule is old.  Newer
versions already have this patch applied.

BTW, why don't you use the pre-built _pgmodule.dll that is part of the
Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.1.2 distribution?
