The standard C compiler should have worked.  In order to get postgres to
compile under gcc you have to specify -traditional.

Before the 3.1 release went out I installed and ran our entire battery of
tests on our local sun3.  Just to be sure I copied and installed the actual
released distribution yesterday and everything works fine here.  We are
running a much older version of the os, but I don't think that this would
account for the problems you are having.  My guess is that it is related 
to something peculiar about your site.
