I did a rebuild on unstable/mips, no failures, packages install fine, postmaster process runs. So the failure might be related to the buildd environment. > Also, bug > 357603 has indicated that this was a problem with binutils, not with > gcc (if using gcc-3.3 the problem occurs, too, and in Sarge it worked > well with gcc-3.3). I read that bug report, and blaming binutils sounds implausible to me. At least I don't know of a change in binutils which would cause such a bug, and postgresql seems to be the only package with that failure mode.
