Subject: building plruby on cygwin

Has anyone succeeded building plruby on cygwin? When I tried "ruby 
extconf.rb" it failed with message 'libpq is missing'. My understanding 
on mkmf.rb is very minimal so I modified the Makefile manually by adding 
"-lpq". Then "make" aborts because it tries to look for "user32", so I 
added '-L"/cygdrive/c/winnt/system32" and -luser32 to the Makefile. 
Finally "make" failed with:

  plruby.o(.text+0x739): In function `pl_query_type':
  /usr/src/plruby-0.3.8/plruby.c:208: undefined reference to 
`_SearchSysCache'
  plruby.o(.text+0x760):/usr/src/plruby-0.3.8/plruby.c:218: undefined 
reference to
   `_ReleaseSysCache'
  ...

where are _SearchSysCache and _ReleaseSysCache defined? Other pl like 
plperl.so and plpgsql.so also contain references to these, but they are 
not found in the Pg libraries.

Note: "make static" succeeded.

(plruby 0.3.8, pg 7.4.1, ruby 1.8.1, cygwin 1.5.7-1, win2k)
