Bruce Momjian 03f1648872 Attached is a patch with some fixes that (I think that) should go into
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.
