The information on why the shared libraries are built the way they are
was not relevant to end users and has been made a mailing list archive
link in Makefile.shlib.

At any rate, here's a revision to CVS HEAD to reflect some changes by
myself and by Seneca Cunningham for the AIX FAQ. It touches on the
following issues:
1. memcpy pointer patch for dynahash.c
2. AIX memory management, which can, for 32 bit cases, bite people
quite unexpectedly...

to fail to successfully build the release candidates.
However, a patch has emerged (thanks, Seneca!) that does allow it to
work, and which I'd expect to be portable (better still!).
We are still actively pursuing why it breaks, but supposing that still
remains outstanding, at least the following would allow AIX users to
better survive a build...

Attached is a patch to fix the mb linking problems on AIX. As a nice side effect
it reduces the duplicate symbol warnings to linking libpq.so and libecpg.so
(all shlibs that are not postmaster loadable modules).
Please apply to current (only affects AIX).
The _LARGE_FILES problem is unfortunately still open, unless Peter
has fixed it per his recent idea.

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 :-)

that installs into a different path than is configured.
With this applied both postmaster and the shared libs are location
independent
for AIX 4.2 and up.
