Thank god for having the source eh?
Just edit this file:
/path/to/src/postgresql-7.2.1/src/include/pg_config.h.in
and on about line 167 you'll find a couple of lines like this:
#define INDEX_MAX_KEYS 16
#define FUNC_MAX_ARGS INDEX_MAX_KEYS
Just change that 16 to 32 or something like it, go the the
/path/to/src/postgresql-7.2.1 directory and do
./configure (your --configuration-switches go here...)
make
make install
and you're set.
