gcc (several versions) and a bunch of other standard FOSS tools are
in /opt/freeware/bin.  I've successfully built Postgres on cfarm119
using

PATH=$HOME/bin:/opt/freeware/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin

and not a lot of special config.  I can't say about xlc --- we gave
up supporting that recently, so I've not tried that on that machine.

Be aware that cfarm119's filesystem is ridiculously slow [1].
