[Mingw-cross-env-list] Native pg_conf failing on FreeBSD

[Tony Theodore]

FreeBSD was failing at the native pg_conf build step with errors along
the lines of:

# Build a native pg_config.
echo '/* empty */'

It seems (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.postgresql.ports/890)
that running ./configure will create the required header files in the
right location. This change works on FreeBSD and OSX, and I'm fairly
sure will also across other systems.
