Possibly, but that's apparently not the only problem.  I'm looking at
the first buildfarm result with this patch,
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=loris&dt=2005-08-25%2018:56:02

The interesting part is the postmaster log at the bottom:

LOG:  could not bind IPv4 socket: No error
HINT:  Is another postmaster already running on port 55678? If not, wait a few seconds and retry.
WARNING:  could not create listen socket for "localhost"
FATAL:  could not create any TCP/IP sockets

Apparently, access to IPv4 sockets isn't working either (and the "No
error" isn't very helpful; would seem we're not reading the right
status value).
