IIRC, PG 7.1's configure script gets confused because recent gcc
versions put out a multiple-line response to "gcc --version".
It's only expecting one line and it generates an invalid PG_VERSION
string as a result.

You could probably fix the resulting config.h file by hand, but why
bother? Install a more modern PG instead. 7.1 is ancient history.
