My WAG is that you just made the normal Cygwin pq.dll. Sorry, I don't know what a "-win32" target is. > I presume that you saw the recent activity regarding the above.

The code produced by either should be functionally identical. Both are only dependent on MS DLLs and not on the Cygwin one. Mingw is a native Win32 app and does not grok Posix style paths, mounts, symlinks, etc. Of course, Cygwin gcc -mno-cygwin does. IMO, the differences lie mainly in the build environment.
