I just did; it had no effect.

Here is a link to the results of the ./configure command:
http://pastebin.com/0uzfUVBH

It looks pretty innocuous.

I talked to someone in the freenode postgresql irc about this, and
they said that the makefile being generated is wrong.  I believe they
said that the compiler flags were incorrect:

gcc -g -O2 -ansi -pedantic -Wall -I/usr/include/postgresql -L/usr/lib
-lpq -I/usr/include/libxml2 -lxml2   src/fe/fe_comparison_ops.c

src/wms/wms_get_capabilities.c src/wms/wms_get_map.c
src/wms/wms_request.c -o tinyows

I've posted a copy of the Makefile generated from ./configure here:

Any thoughts? :)
