it's 1.1.6, right ?

Ehm... sure, get access to a 64bit host and patch lwgeom/lwgeom_geos_c.c
so that works with GEOS-2.2.3 CAPI interface :)
I'm not an SVN power user, but the quicker way is probably reviewing
the changes since 1.1.4 and revert them.
This would likely make postgis crash when built against GEOS 3.0.0 RC1
but that's something that I'll need to fix for RC2..
