Go into the file src/backend/storage/s_lock.c and change the line that
looks like

#if defined(__mips__)

to

#if defined(__mips__) && !defined(__sgi)

(This "mips" assembly code is there for the likes of NetBSD and Linux.)

This should allow for the compilation to continue.

"not very good" can also be read as "won't work", unless GCC 3 now does
better.
