Buggy make files for Solaris 9 64bit builds: version 7.4.1 and 7.4.2

The source was downloaded from postgres.org dated Mar 8 01:50.

As already posted on Wed, 11 Feb 2004 14:25:13 +0100 with Postgres 7.4.1 a
64bit build on Solaris 9 fails.
This particular when building shared libs.

Same thing happened for Postgres 7.4.2.
Examining the make log file it appears, that 'CFLAGS' parameter is defined
in top-level Makefile, but not used in some sub-tree makefiles.

Typically it looks like this:
......
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -Xa -xarch=v9 -xildoff -KPIC
-I../../../../../../src/include -c -o ascii_and_mic.o ascii_and_mic.c

builds correctly.

Listed here are the sections with shared libs to be created where CFLAGS
is ignored:

As I am not in the position to patch make files can someone from porting
team or developer help ?

Has anybody else had this trouble ?
