All good now. I am able to get the PostgreSQL-9.5.3 64-Bit installation
done by removing the CFLAGS. Below is the configure command which i used -

./configure --prefix=/opt/postgres/9.5.3 CC="gcc -m64" --enable-cassert
--without-readline --enable-thread-safety

Thanks all for your inputs and sorry for the confusion.
