Yes.  My apologies.  This patch is one way to fix things.

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 :-)

39ceedf5e0 The regexp pattern characters ^ and $ should be explained as matching 
at the beginning and end of the input string, not the beginning and end
of "a line", since Postgres does not allow them to match at newline
characters in the data.

4d14fe0048 XLOG (and related) changes: 
* Store two past checkpoint locations, not just one, in pg_control.
  On startup, we fall back to the older checkpoint if the newer one
  is unreadable.  Also, a physical copy of the newest checkpoint record
  is kept in pg_control for possible use in disaster recovery (ie,
  complete loss of pg_xlog).  Also add a version number for pg_control
  itself.  Remove archdir from pg_control; it ought to be a GUC
  parameter, not a special case (not that it's implemented yet anyway).

* Suppress successive checkpoint records when nothing has been entered
  in the WAL log since the last one.  This is not so much to avoid I/O
  as to make it actually useful to keep track of the last two
  checkpoints.  If the things are right next to each other then there's
  not a lot of redundancy gained...

* Change CRC scheme to a true 64-bit CRC, not a pair of 32-bit CRCs
  on alternate bytes.  Polynomial borrowed from ECMA DLT1 standard.

* Fix XLOG record length handling so that it will work at BLCKSZ = 32k.

* Change XID allocation to work more like OID allocation.  (This is of
  dubious necessity, but I think it's a good idea anyway.)

* Fix a number of minor bugs, such as off-by-one logic for XLOG file
  wraparound at the 4 gig mark.

* Add documentation and clean up some coding infelicities; move file
  format declarations out to include files where planned contrib
  utilities can get at them.

* Checkpoint will now occur every CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS log segments or
  every CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT seconds, whichever comes first.  It is also
  possible to force a checkpoint by sending SIGUSR1 to the postmaster
  (undocumented feature...)

* Defend against kill -9 postmaster by storing shmem block's key and ID
  in postmaster.pid lockfile, and checking at startup to ensure that no
  processes are still connected to old shmem block (if it still exists).

* Switch backends to accept SIGQUIT rather than SIGUSR1 for emergency
  stop, for symmetry with postmaster and xlog utilities.  Clean up signal
  handling in bootstrap.c so that xlog utilities launched by postmaster
  will react to signals better.

* Standalone bootstrap now grabs lockfile in target directory, as added
  insurance against running it in parallel with live postmaster.

9c9936587c Implement COMMIT_SIBLINGS parameter to allow pre-commit delay to occur 
only if at least N other backends currently have open transactions.  This
is not a great deal of intelligence about whether a delay might be
profitable ... but it beats no intelligence at all.  Note that the default
COMMIT_DELAY is still zero --- this new code does nothing unless that
setting is changed.
Also, mark ENABLEFSYNC as a system-wide setting.  It's no longer safe to
allow that to be set per-backend, since we may be relying on some other
backend's fsync to have synced the WAL log.

d08741eab5 Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there 
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
