This problem is caused by the fact that gcc is an ANSI compiler and I thing that
in general postgres has been written and tested with a non ANSI compiler, but
an attempt to support ANSI has been made in the include files.  I remmember this
particular error from 4.0.1 but it has been fixed in 4.1.  What you need to do
is find the include file which defines `struct sockaddr_in' and include in
tmp/libpq-fe.h.

I do have a number of patches to get 4.1 to work with gcc (though I gave up
trying to compile postgres itself with gcc) but I have forgotten what I did
for 4.0.1.
