I found a problem and a workaround to get 7.2.1 compiling on Mac OS X
10.2, soon to be released.

In case someone hasn't already fixed this problem, I include my diffs
below for my workaround.

If you'd like any testing on OS X, please let me know. I'd be happy to
help out.

Please keep up the excellent work,

Drew

System Configuration
---------------------
   Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)      : PowerPC

   Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF)     : Mac OS X 10.2

   PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-7.2.1):   PostgreSQL-7.2.1

   Compiler used (example:  gcc 2.95.2)        : gcc 3.1 20020420


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------

The next release of Mac OS X, 10.2, now contains sys/sem.h, which
wasn't included in
previous releases. Unfortunately, this conflicts w/
src/include/port/darwin/sem.h.

The two files have different definitions for the same data structures,
leading to
compilation errors.


Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------





If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I was able to work around this problem by only including
src/include/port/darwin/sem.h if the system does not have a sem.h
(using the HAVE_SYS_SEM_H conditional.)

I also changed semop()'s third argument type to unsigned (instead of
size_t),
to match the semop defined in sem.h in 10.2.

I was able to build this on 10.2 w/ gcc 3.1 and on 10.1 w/ gcc 2.95.2.
