You've got a pretty broken compiler installation AFAICS. Does it work
for any other purpose?

Postgres does build out-of-the-box on OS X, as long as you have a sane
set of developer tools installed. IIRC, OS X 10.4 requires at least
Xcode 2.0, and 2.1 is probably a better idea. If you've upgraded from
10.3 or earlier you may have obsolete Xcode files. Try downloading the
latest Xcode, wiping your current Xcode installation, and installing
fresh.
