It seems not to be picking up the gcc-specific version of <stdarg.h>.

I don't know how you configured PG, but if I were you I'd get rid of
the explicit -I/usr/include --- that is unnecessary, and it is very
likely causing the Solaris-standard versions of include files to be
picked up instead of the gcc-specific ones.  For that matter, I rather
doubt that you need -I/usr/local/include ... every gcc installation
I've ever dealt with will search that by default, too.
