Yes. You could probably work around this particular issue by removing
the linux-specific portion of src/interfaces/libpq/Makefile, but there
are likely to be more problems. You'd be *far* better off to spend your
time on moving to a platform that's not so obsolete. (If memory serves,
7.2 was the latest and greatest when I joined Red Hat ... in 2001.)
