installation of v6.4.2 failed on digital unix 4.0

Hi,

   OS: Digital unix 4.0, hardware: alpha

   When I installed postgresql-6.4.2, it stopped because gcc failed to
compile some files under src/backend/storage/buffer and ipc. As a result,
the associated SUBSYS.o could't be generated. All errors
are related to function 'tas' defined in include/storage/s_lock.h. Some
error message is attached. I did the configure using

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --with-template=alpha --with-perl

then using gmake to compile, gcc version is 2.7.2.3. flex version is 2.5.4.

The only extra action is to touch src/backend/parser/gram.c to bypass the
yacc to gram.y.

    Could you tell me why it failed? (BTW, I have got v6.3.2 running before)
    Any help will be appreciated!
