Hm.  Not sure about Solaris, but on HPUX plain "su postgres" does not
run postgres' login script.  You have to do "su - postgres" to make that
happen.  Perhaps Solaris has some similar distinction?

Another question that comes to mind is did you remember to "export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH" in the script.

Possibly the 7.1.3 build doesn't need libgcc (presumably because it was
compiled with Sun's compiler not gcc).
