Aside from the PostgreSQL source distribution, you will need GNU make

Until now there are problems trying to install with GNU's gcc, it is a known
gcc bug (not fixed at current date, version 3.0) using functions that return
some kind of structures. This bug affects functions like inet_ntoa,
inet_lnaof, inet_netof, inet_makeaddr and semctl. It is supposed to be fixed
by forcing code to link those functions with libgcc, but this has not been
tested yet.
