Pljava is trying to use the same compiler and options to build pljava as 
the postgresql server was compiled with.  Apparently your postgresql 
package was built with Solaris' compiler, so it's trying to use that 
instead of gcc which you have installed.

You can override this by setting the CUSTOM_CC environment variable to 
point to gcc, but you'll still have the old CFLAGS and other things 
which are not so easy to override.  The easiest thing would be to 
install the sun compiler, next easiest would be to build your own 
postgresql version with gcc, and finally you could adjust assorted parts 
of the pljava build system to build with gcc instead of sun's compiler.
