The answers to these questions are not well-defined. Use a compiler that you
trust or that your trusted operating system vendor supports. PostgreSQL is
not mplayer or the linux kernel; which exact compiler you use doesn't matter
much for performance or stability, as long as the compiler is not outright
broken.
