oh, thats going to be fun. fyi, the 7.2 sources are here...
ftp://ftp-archives.postgresql.org/pub/source/v7.2.8/postgresql-7.2.8.tar.bz2
I'm giving a try building on centos 5 (rhel5) just for the fun of it.
this uses gcc 4.1.2 by default. it also has a gcc 3.4.6 -compat
version I could try if this fails. lotsa compile warnings so far.
this actually seems to have worked... as user 'pierce'...
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/pierce/pg72 --with-pgport=5433
$ make
$ make install
$ /home/pierce/pg72/bin/initdb -D /home/pierce/pg72/data
$ vi /home/pierce/pg72/data/postgresql.conf ## change port=5433
$ /home/pierce/pg72/bin/pg_ctl -D /home/pierce/pg72/data -l logfile
start

like, holy karap.

thats going to be a bigger problem. dunno how you'd get around that,
or how many intermediate versions youd have to go through. wild guess
says, 7.2 -> 7.4 -> 8.3 may work.
