Your compile command was:

I'm guessing that the 8.1.4 headers are under /usr/local/include
and the 8.2devel headers are under C:/msys/1.0/local/pgsql/include.
Is that right?  If so then the order of the -I options is causing
the build to find the 8.1.4 headers first, which results in errors
because USE_VERSION=82 tells the code to expect 8.2devel headers.
Try editing lwgeom/Makefile and moving the following line (line 69
or thereabouts) up a few lines to above the PROJ section:

override CFLAGS += $(PGBEINCLUDES) -DAUTOCACHE_BBOX=$(AUTOCACHE_BBOX)

Putting that line earlier should cause the 8.2devel headers to be
found first.
