I bisected the hardy failure on i386 and lpia down to this glibc upgrade:

Both postgresql 8.3.21 and 8.3.22 build fine on hardy final, and fail the same way as in comment 9 on a fully upgraded hardy. Downgrading libc6, libc6-dev, and libc6-i686 from 2.7-10ubuntu8.2 to 2.7-10ubuntu8.1 fixes the bug.

For cross-checking I built 8.3.22 on current raring i386 successfully, so it's not a general i386 problem, but one with hardy specifically. Perhaps the backport of the security patches to hardy were faulty, or make assumptions that are not true on hardy?
