Include the platform "FAQs" into the installation instructions.
I weeded out some really old information along the way. FAQ_AIX needs separate consideration and will be dealt with later.

-Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for PostgreSQL
-IRIX Specific
-TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NORMAL FAQ
-=======================================================

-current maintainer: Billy G. Allie (Bill.Allie@mug.org)
-original author: Andrew Merrill (andrew@compclass.com)
-
-
-Consult http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/ for latest information.
-
-PostgreSQL 8.0 can be built on SCO UnixWare 7 and SCO OpenServer 5.
-On OpenServer, you can use either the OpenServer Development Kit or
-the Universal Development Kit.
-
-However, some tweaking may be needed, as described below.
-
-Topics:
-*) Skunkware
-*) GNU Make
-*) Readline
-*) Using the UDK on OpenServer
-*) Compiling PostgreSQL using the UDK
-*) Reading the PostgreSQL man pages
-*) C99 Issues with the 7.1.1b Feature Supplement
-*) --enable-thread-safety and UnixWare
-*) float4/float8 regression failures on NaN and inf I/O.
-
-
-***************************************************************************
-*) Skunkware
-
-You should locate your copy of the SCO Skunkware CD. The Skunkware CD is
-included with UnixWare 7 and current versions of OpenServer 5.
-
-Skunkware includes ready-to-install versions of many popular programs that
-are available on the Internet. For example, gzip, gunzip, GNU make, flex,
-and bison are all included.
-
-If you do not have this CD, the software on it is available via anonymous
-ftp from ftp.sco.com/skunkware.
-
-For UnixWare 7.1, this CD is now labeled "Open License Software Supplement".
-
-Skunkware has different versions for UnixWare and OpenServer. Make sure
-you install the correct version for your operating system, except as noted
-below.
-
-Note: on UnixWare 7.1.3 and beyond, the GCC compiler is included on the UDK
-CD as is GNUMake.
-
-***************************************************************************
-*) GNU Make
-
-You need to use the GNU make program, which is on the Skunkware CD. By
-default, it installs as /usr/local/bin/make. To avoid confusion with the
-SCO make program, you may want to rename GNU make to gmake.
-
-As of UnixWare 7.1.3 and above, the GNU Make program is is the OSTK portion
-of the UDK CD, and is in /usr/gnu/bin/gmake.
-
-
-***************************************************************************
-*) Readline
-
-If you install the readline library, then psql (the PostgreSQL command line
-SQL interpreter) remembers each command you type, and allows you to use
-arrow keys to recall and edit previous commands. This is very helpful, and
-is strongly recommended. The readline library is on the Skunkware CD.
-
-The readline library is not included on the UnixWare 7.1 Skunkware CD. If
-you have the UnixWare 7.0.0 or 7.0.1 Skunkware CDs, you can install it from
-there. Otherwise, try ftp.sco.com/skunkware.
-
-By default, readline installs into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include.
-However, the PostgreSQL configure program will not find it there without
-help. If you installed readline, then use the following options to
-configure:
-
-configure --with-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include
-
-
-***************************************************************************
-*) Using the UDK on OpenServer
-
-If you are using the new Universal Development Kit (UDK) compiler on
-OpenServer, you need to specify the locations of the UDK libraries:
-
-configure --with-libs=/udk/usr/lib --with-includes=/udk/usr/include
-
-Putting these together with the readline options from above:
-
-./configure --with-libs="/udk/usr/lib /usr/local/lib" --with-includes="/udk/usr/include /usr/local/include"
-
-
-***************************************************************************
-*) Compiling PostgreSQL 7.1 with the UDK
-
-The program, backend/utils/adt/int8.c, tickles a compiler bug with in the
-following versions (and probably others as well) of the C compiler:
-
- Optimizing C Compilation System (CCS) 3.2 08/18/98
- Optimizing C Compilation System (CCS) 3.2 09/28/99
-
-If you encounter an error compiling backend/utils/adt/int8.c, please apply
-the following patch:
-

-! for (i = arg1, result = 1; i; --i)
- result *= i;
-

-------------------------------8< CUT HERE >8------------------------------
-
-This compiler bug seems to be fixed at least in
-
- Optimizing C Compilation System (CCS) 4.0 10/23/00 (UDK FS 7.1.1b)
-
-
-***************************************************************************
-*) Reading the PostgreSQL man pages
-
-By default, the PostgreSQL man pages are installed into
-/usr/local/pgsql/man. By default, UnixWare does not look there for
-man pages. To be able to read them you need to modify the MANPATH
-variable in /etc/default/man. I use:
-
- MANPATH=/usr/lib/scohelp/%L/man:/usr/dt/man:/usr/man:/usr/share/man:scohelp:/usr/local/man:/usr/local/pgsql/man
-
-On OpenServer, some extra research needs to be invested to make the
-man pages usable, because the man system is a bit different from other
-platforms. Currently, PostgreSQL will not install them at all.
-
-
-***************************************************************************
-*) C99 Issues with the 7.1.1b Feature Supplement
-
-For compilers earlier than the one released with OpenUNIX 8.0.0(UnixWare
-7.1.2), Including the 7.1.1b Feature Supplement, you may need to specify -Xb
- in CFLAGS or the CC environment variable. The indication of this is an
-error in compiling tuplesort.c referencing inline functions.
-
-Apparently there was a change in the 7.1.2(8.0.0) compiler and beyond.
-
-
-***************************************************************************
-*) --enable-thread-safety and UnixWare
-
-If you use the --enable-thread-safety configure flag, you *MUST* use -Kpthread
-on ALL libpq using programs.
-
-libpq uses pthread_* calls, which are only available with the
--Kpthread/-Kthread flag.
-
-***************************************************************************
-*) float4/float8 regression failures on NaN and inf I/O.
-
-You will see regression failures for the float4 and float8 regression
-tests on the NaN and inf I/O functions. This is due to a bug in SCO's strtod
-library function on BOTH UnixWare and OpenServer. It's slated to be fixed
-in the first maintenance / update for UnixWare 7.1.4, and probably the
-next MP/UP for OpenServer 5.0.7 (I'm not sure on the OSR side as of the time
-I'm writing this (2004-05-14).
-
-You might also see Join test failures due to ordering differences, and these
-are ok.
