PostgreSQL compiles fine with many compilers in many platforms, and
not only with gcc: it's designed that way with a lot of effort and
headaches; just check the list of supported plataforms

Really?, Mine is smaller:

masm@conexa$ ls -l citext.*
-rw-r--r--    1 masm     masm         7334 sep 25 17:00 citext.zip
-rw-r--r--    1 masm     masm         7147 sep 25 18:12 citext.tar.gz

[downloading yours]..., Oh I see: you are using compress(1) instead of
gzip.
