The problem as I see it is that some software installs an include file
with the same name into /usr/include. So if you specify -I
/usr/include/pgsql/ecpg you still essantially override this file. Now
the question is whether anyone would have to use the ecpg sqltypes.h and
the other one, be it a windows file or th unixodbc or the iodbc one.

Does anyone know how Informix, where this file comes from, handles this?

Would it be a solution to just move the compat headers out of the main
include dir?
