I was able to rebuild from source rpm on a Fedora machine without any
problem, so I don't think it's a case of wholesale breakage. It's not my
normal development machine, but I'll try compiling from source [...tries...]
Yup, I got a clean build from source with the following configure line:

./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/pgsql-7.4 \
--with-pgport=55434 \
--with-perl \
--with-tcl \
--with-tclconfig=/usr/lib \
--without-tk \
--with-python \
--enable-nls \
--enable-debug \
--enable-cassert \
--enable-depend \
--with-openssl \
--with-pam \
--enable-integer-datetimes \
--with-krb5=/usr/kerberos \
--with-includes=/usr/include/et/

The only adjustment from my RH9 box was the last line. Without it
com_err.h wasn't being found.
