Postgresql7.4.11 compilation failing on Mac Intels

Hi,

I was compiling the sources of postgresql 7.4.11 on a
MAC OS X version 10.4.1 with Intel Pentium 4
processor.
I am getting the following error:
===========================
gnumake -C transam SUBSYS.o
gcc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -g -Wall
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations
-I../../../../src/include -c -o xlog.o xlog.c
In file included from
../../../../src/include/storage/spin.h:50,
from xlog.c:35:
../../../../src/include/storage/s_lock.h:543:2: error:
#error PostgreSQL does not have native spinlock
support on this platform. To continue the compilation,
rerun configure using --disable-spinlocks. However,
performance will be poor. Please report this to
pgsql-bugs(at)postgresql(dot)org(dot)

../../../../src/include/storage/spin.h:50,

gnumake[2]: *** [access-recursive] Error 2
gnumake[1]: *** [all] Error 2
gnumake: *** [all] Error 2
Failed at gnumake
=================================================

I then went ahead and used the --disable-spinlocks
option. But it errored out again with the following
message:
=================================================
In file included from
../../../../src/include/storage/spin.h:50,
from xlog.c:35:

gnumake[2]: *** [access-recursive] Error 2
gnumake[1]: *** [all] Error 2
gnumake: *** [all] Error 2
Failed at gnumake
==================================================

Are there any specific steps to be followed to compile
pgsql on MAC - Intel machines?
Pointers needed on how to compile postgresql on
mac-intel machines.

My gcc version is i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0 (build
5026)

Thanks and Regards,
Nishant

You might offer to let a developer have remote shell access to
troubleshoot that. Unless one of them was issued a new powerbook by thier
employer, I'm sure they have limited access to this newer platform.

Also, you should try Pkgsrc/Fink/Darwinports instead of compiling form
source so that you have some sort of 3rd party software control system.

Also posting config.log somewhere might be insightful

Is there a reason you need to use such an old version of Postgres on
such a bleeding-edge platform? PG 8.0 or 8.1 would be much more likely
to work out-of-the-box, because we got rid of some of the assumptions
about "this OS only runs on that processor(s)" in 8.0.
