You haven't shown us your function, so it's a bit difficult to help, but
in any case you do *not* want to use the V0 calling conventions -- they
are deprecated and subject to removal in the future. V1 certainly works
-- I've done many V1 C functions that accept text arguments. Take a look
at some of the contrib folder extensions if you need examples.

Why not? I have Postgres 7.3.4 running on my RH 7.3 server. Here are RH
7.3 RPMs:
