It is a known gcc bug -(not fixed as of version 3.0) related to using functions that return -certain kinds of structures. This bug affects functions like -inet_ntoa, inet_lnaof, inet_netof, inet_makeaddr and semctl. It is -supposed to be fixed by forcing code to link those functions with -libgcc, but this has not been tested yet. - -It is known that version 7.4.1m of the MIPSPro compiler generates -incorrect code. (Symptom is "invalid primary checkpoint record" -when trying to start the database.) Version 7.4.4m is OK; the status -of intermediate versions is uncertain. - - -1.2) Anything special about the build/install procedure? - -There may be a compilation problem like the following: - -cc-1020 cc: ERROR File = pqcomm.c, Line = 427 - The identifier "TCP_NODELAY" is undefined. - - if (setsockopt(port->sock, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, - -Some versions include TCP definitions in <sys/xti.h>, so it is necessary to -add #include <sys/xti.h> in src/backend/libpq/pqcomm.c and in -src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c. - - -1.3) OK, it seemed to build and install, but the regression test fails. - -There are several "expected failures" due to differences between your platform -and the regression test reference platform used by the PostgreSQL group.
