That somethings weird...

Take a look at what it's trying to allocate. I'm not sure what's
happening, but something seems bad... have you installed another
compiler, glibc, kernel or something similar? Or overclocked?
It's known to be compiling, so I'm not sure why you're seeing thing problem.

That said, you can download postgresql rpms for Red Hat Linux 7.1 from
http://people.redhat.com/teg/pg/

This is the above RPMs, with some more fixes Lamar and I haven't
merged yet.
