snv_134: configure issues: C compiler cannot create executables]

Hi Josh,

I don't say what is wrong. I recommend to look on solaris 11 animals.
There are examples how to configure postgres with gcc. I personally
recommend to use sun studio. But gcc usually works fine. But gcc in
solaris contains several patches for better integration. Any own gcc
compilation could cause problems.

Sometime is also problem when gcc uses solaris linker. Maybe
--with-ld=gld could help.
