Could be.  Try removing this hack from src/backend/utils/adt/Makefile:

# seems to be required for some date/time stuff 1999/07/22 bjm
ifeq "$(findstring alpha,$(host_cpu))" "alpha"
ifeq "$(GCC)" "yes"
override CFLAGS+= -mieee
endif
endif

I'd be interested to know whether the regression tests pass cleanly
after you do that.
