building postgres 7.0.3 on potato?

[Andrew Sullivan <sullivana@bpl.on.ca>]

Hi,

I'm trying to build PostgreSQL 7.0.3 on an all-potato system.  I keep
running into an error.  I believe I have everything I need installed,
because I can compile the program without error if I simply untar the
.orig.tar.gz tarball.  If I use debuild on the package, however, I
keep running into a fatal error.  Below is the end of the output,
where the error appears to occur.  RTFM plus a hint (or even just the
full solution) much appreciated.  Thanks.
