Offhand that seems like it may just be a thinko in the original makefile
coding.  Has anyone tried to use PGXS on windows before?

In general you are supposed to use the same compiler as the installation
was built with.  We are not going to try to support other cases ---
CFLAGS are barely the tip of the iceberg of the issues that would arise.
