I searched the entire hard drive for any file resembling pg_config.h and
found the following files:

pg_config.h        c:\msys\1.0\local\pgsql\include
pg_config.h        c:\msys\1.0\local\pgsql\include\server
pg_config.h        c:\msys\1.0\home\Bruce\pgsql\src\include
pg_config.h.in     c:\msys\1.0\home\Bruce\pgsql\src\include
pg_config.h.win32  c:\msys\1.0\home\Bruce\pgsql\src\include
ecpg_config.h      c:\msys\1.0\home\Bruce\pgsql\src\interfaces\ecpg\include
ecpg_config.h.in   c:\msys\1.0\home\Bruce\pgsql\src\interfaces\ecpg\include

The only version references are in the pg_config.h files and they all say
8.2devel.  Should I search for other files?

Mine is:

$PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/include/access/gist.h,v 1.52 2006/03/05 15:58:53

This might be the problem.  I have:

#define gistentryinit(e, k, r, pg, o, b, l) \
	do { (e).key = (k); (e).rel = (r); (e).page = (pg); \
	 (e).offset = (o); (e).bytes = (b); (e).leafkey = (l); } while (0)

Note the seven parameters and version 1.52

I updated the source via CVS.  Should I just grab an archive and try again?

Thanks again for all your help.
