I searched the archive and found two other instances where some one else had 
that problem but no replies/solutions were given. 

I tracked the problem down to the configure options: 

--with-postgis[=ARG]         Include PostGIS Support (ARG=yes/path to pg_config)
--with-freetype=DIR     Specify where FreeType is installed (DIR is path to
                          FreeType 2.x freetype-config program or FreeType
                          1.x/2.x install dir). 

The above references 'path to XXXX', most would type the actual directory path 
like: 

--with-postgis=/usr/local/bin \
--with-freetype=/usr/pkg/bin \

Which will result in that "gcc: No input files" error. Instead they should 
supply the full path of the program:

--with-postgis=/usr/local/bin/pg_config \
--with-freetype=/usr/pkg/bin/freetype-config \ # Only if FreeType 2.x

I believe a similar issue was fixed in 4.1 or 4.0.  I'll close the bug as
WORKSFORME, and please reopen if this still happens with the latest CVS source.
