Could you possibly show us the line 104 of
"/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/include/sys/types.h",
and the line 135 of "db/include/db.h"?.

Thanks for the quick response Jesus. The relevant lines are:

...from types.h (under mingw/include/sys)

#ifndef _NO_OLDNAMES
typedef _ssize_t ssize_t;
#endif
#endif /* Not _SSIZE_T_ */

(the offending line is typedef _ssize_t ssize_t;)

...and from db.h (under .../bsddb3-5.1.1/db/include)

#define off_t __db_off_t
typedef int64_t off_t;
typedef int pid_t;
#ifdef _WIN64
typedef int64_t ssize_t;
#else
typedef int32_t ssize_t;
#endif

(line 138 is typedef int32_t ssize_t;)

Thanks for the help!
