v6.4 will do the right thing if cpp is missing, and will use
  gcc -E -
instead.

Do a "find" through the Makefiles and replace "cpp" with "gcc -E -" in
places where it is executed as a command:

  cd $(POSTGRESDIR) # the top level directory
  find . -name '*akefile' -exec grep cpp {} \; -print

then edit the files which are mentioned.

btw, I'm not sure why some versions of gcc are missing this. My rpm of
2.7.2.1 had it, but 2.7.2.3 did not. egcs seems to be missing it also,
so it looks like it may be a deprecated feature?
