Did you remember to recompile ecpg?  AFAICT it uses the same NAMEDATALEN
symbol as everyplace else.

In general, when making a system-wide configuration change like that
one, it'd be a good idea to "make clean" at the top level, then do a
full make, make install, initdb cycle.

If you did all that, another possibility is an include file search path
problem: perhaps the ecpg compile picked up a previously-installed
postgres_ext.h with the wrong NAMEDATALEN value.
