You can build with either GCC or Sun's compiler suite. We have heard reports
of problems when using gcc 2.95.1; gcc 2.95.3 is recommended. If you are
using Sun's compiler, be careful *not* to select /usr/ucb/cc; use
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc.

ld(1) man page for more information.
4) How do I ensure that pg_dump and pg_restore can handle files > 2 Gb?
By default, gcc will build programs that only handle 32-bit file offsets.
This is not a real problem for the server but can easily be trouble for
pg_dump and pg_restore. Before running 'configure', set your CFLAGS variable
to specify support for files with 64-bit offsets. This has been verified
to work on Solaris 7:
CFLAGS="`getconf LFS_CFLAGS`"; export CFLAGS
5) Why does my 64-bit build sometimes crash?
4) Why does my 64-bit build sometimes crash?
On Solaris 7 and older, the 64-bit version of libc has a buggy vsnprintf
routine, which leads to erratic core dumps in PostgreSQL. The simplest known
