Yes, with a few makefile tweaks it works fine.  I just put the two 
relevant makefiles on ftp://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/pub.

Note: I have it setup to be linked with gnumalloc because without it,
postgres sucked up all my swap (64MB) when generating an rtree index on a 
large (310,000 tuples) table.  With gnumalloc it did just fine.  I expect 
it would work fine with phkmalloc (which I'm using in my libc now) but I 
have not tried it.

And whatever you do, don't run postgres as root!
