I tried what you suggested even though -lgcc flag is usually used with -nostdlib and -nodefaultlibs flags, which I do not use.  In any case it didn't help. 

thahks again.

Hello,

I'm building postgresQL on Sparc10 and the build goes fine unil initdb. 

/usr/local/bin/gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing initdb.o -L../../../src/port -lpgport -L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -L../../../src/port -Wl,-R/postgres/lib -L/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/platform/SUNW,Ultra-60/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9 -L/usr/sfw/lib/ -L/usr/local/lib/sparcv9 -lpgport -lz -lrt -lresolv -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm -o initdb

I ran ldd on libpq.so ldd interfaces/libpq/libpq.so

If you notice libgcc_s.so.1 was not found. But I found it using find (see bellow)

# find / -name "libgcc_s.so.1"
/usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/sfw/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/local/lib/sparcv9/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

I added all librararies directories to Makefile. See compilation line bellow. Unfortunately, something is not linking. I searched internet for the similar problem on Sparc and could not find anything.

Did anybody see this error before and can suggest me a way to fix it?

Thank you all.
