cd5fa5a5a1 FAQ_AIX in 8.1.0 contains outdated information about how to deal with
postgres problems due to readline.  The attached patch replaces that
section of it with better ways of handling the problem.

081ed99b1e We haven't seen any agreement emerge as to what is causing AIX 5.3 ML3
to fail to successfully build the release candidates.

However, a patch has emerged (thanks, Seneca!) that does allow it to
work, and which I'd expect to be portable (better still!).

We are still actively pursuing why it breaks, but supposing that still
remains outstanding, at least the following would allow AIX users to
better survive a build...

Attached is a patch to fix the mb linking problems on AIX. As a nice side effect

it reduces the duplicate symbol warnings to linking libpq.so and libecpg.so
(all shlibs that are not postmaster loadable modules).

Please apply to current (only affects AIX).

The _LARGE_FILES problem is unfortunately still open, unless Peter
has fixed it per his recent idea.

341cb70044 The following patch updates the FAQ_AIX and makes C++ code work with
more recent versions of the IBM C++ compiler (now called VisualAge C++).
The C++ part was previously broken (g++ and xlC), thus this is zero risk.
Only AIX specific parts are touched (1 Makefile.shlib line (link with $(COMPILER
) instead
of $(CC) and one shell script line (parameter -C to nm to not demangle C++ symbo
ls for
.exp file)).

I thus ask you to please apply this patch before release.

With or without this patch RC1 on AIX 4.3.2 RS6000 passes "gmake check" for both
 the native
compiler vac.C 5.0.1 and gcc 2.95.2 :-)

a0951eec08 Please apply this patch to current, to fix a problem with runcheck,
that installs into a different path than is configured.

With this applied both postmaster and the shared libs are location
independent
for AIX 4.2 and up.

Thanks
