The compat RPM's source RPM isn't.  That is, the source RPM is actually a 
pre-package of binaries, not buildable source, made from a binary tarball of 
the libpq.so.3 and associated libs.  I had to rebuild the source tarball for 
my UltraSPARC myself, when building and installing PG 8.1 on Aurora 2.0 on my 
Enterprise 6500.

So an rpmbuild --rebuild of the compat libs will, on any architecture you care 
to mention, install the i386 libs.  This includes SPARC, PPC, Alpha, etc.  
You will have to install/build the previous libs (7.4.8 is current CentOS 4), 
make the tarball, modify the SPEC, and build that way.  It IS a kludge, but 
what other way to do it smoothly without including 10MB of PostgreSQL source 
code in the source RPM?  The postgresql-rpm building group would love to see 
the solution.
