Don't use DISABLE_COMPLEX_MACRO on Solaris. Don't define the
replacement function in the header file. Use -KPIC, not -K PIC.
Use CC to link C++ libraries, not ld/ar.
Eliminate file not found warnings in tcl build code.
CPP) to create platform independent files. Unfortunately, that means that
every config.status (or configure) run invariably causes a relink of the
postmaster and also that we can't put these files in the distribution
(usefully). So we make it a little smarter: when the output files already
exist and it notices that it would recreate them in identical form, it
doesn't touch them. In order to avoid re-running the make rule all the time
we update a timestamp file instead.
Update release_prep accordingly. Also make Gen_fmgrtab.sh use the awk that
is detected at configure time, not necessarily named `awk' and have it check
for exit statuses a little better.
In other news... Remove USE_LOCALE from the templates, it was set to `no'
everywhere anyway. Also remove YACC and YFLAGS from the templates, configure
is smart enough to find bison or yacc itself. Use AC_PROG_YACC for that
instead of the hand-crafted code. Do not set YFLAGS to `-d'. The make rules
that need this flag should explicitly invoke it. YFLAGS should be a user
variable. Update the makefiles to that effect.
unless you feed it -Aa or -Ae switch. Autoconf does not know about this,
but we can fix it in the hpux_cc template file. I knew templates were
good for something ;-)
It does work with the following patch applied and gcc 2.95.2 .
Use --with-template=aix_gcc to compile the whole lot with gcc.
The geometry regression test produces different precision.
With optimization I run into regression failures starting at oidjoins,
thus no -O2. Anybody else try gcc 2.95.2 and -O2 on beta4 ?
This is an important patch, since recent versions of the IBM compiler
are not for free, and thus most questions I get concern gcc.

PS.: I am testing with beta4
Make similar changes to hpux templates. Might want to do the same for
other foo_cc and foo_gcc pairs, but will desist until I hear from
someone who uses those platforms.
1. C++ style comments in C source for ecpg ( // comment )
2. compiler finds wrong include file extern.h in ecpg/lib/descriptor.c
from
include path instead of workdir (rename it ?)
3. fe-connect getsockopt takes a socklen_t as fifth arg not int (use
SOCKET_SIZE_TYPE instead)
4. char vs unsigned char in psql calls to libpq
5. empty define that results in an empty but terminated line ( ; )
Now for all but point 3 I can supply changes to the
compiler flags, to make the compiler less pedantic.
Or is someone interested in the complications ?
in the meantime can someone apply the attached patch ?

I have changed a bit the makefiles for the win32 port - the *.def files
(created when building shared libraries) are now clean from
Makefile.shlib.
I have also removed "-g" from CFLAGS in the "cygwin32" template - it can
be
enabled when running configure.

SHARED_LIB:
needs to be changed to:
SHARED_LIB:-lc
I think this was also needed on AIX 4.2. Comments Please !!
If nobody objects, I suggest to make this change, since it cannot
break AIX 4.2 and is necessary on AIX 4.3

6.4.1. Here is the list:
- The type int8 now works. In fact, the bug(s) were in
src/backend/port/snprintf.c, so int8 is probably broken in every platform
that hasn't a native snprintf/vsnprintf. The type itself worked as
expected, only the output was wrong. Anyway, this patch should be checked
in other platforms.
- The regression tests for int2 and int4, which were broken due to
differences in the error messages, are fixed.
- The regression test for float8, which was broken in the reference
platform, is also fixed. I don't know if the new file (float8-OSF1.out)
will work on other platforms, but it might be worth to try it.
- Two new template files are provided (alpha_cc, which includes
optimization, and alpha_gcc), and src/templates/.similar is updated
accordingly. src/templates/alpha should be removed from the distribution.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: I don't know if you can use gcc to compile postgres;
I've written the alpha_gcc file because alpha_cc has some flags that are
specific to DEC C.
- There is a (very basic) Digital Unix specific FAQ in
doc/FAQ_DigitalUnix.

selected when they match a prefix of the value. The previous method,
which stripped all version data from and then tried to match that
against .similar entries, was entirely useless when .similar contained
several entries for different version numbers of a single OS name.
