Hello,
I made the following changes to compile the PostgreSQL 6.5.3 on AIX
4.3.2. I am not absolutely sure that all changes are O.K. :-((, so I
ask the development team...

Change for AIX 4.3.2 / xlC 3.6.6
================================

1. ./postgresql-6.5.3/src/backend/utils/adt/verlena.c

line 504: change (unsigned char *) to (char *)
line 505: change (unsigned char *) to (char *)

504,505c504,505
<       a1p = (char *) palloc(len1 + 1);
<       a2p = (char *) palloc(len2 + 1);
---
>       a1p = (unsigned char *) palloc(len1 + 1);
>       a2p = (unsigned char *) palloc(len2 + 1);


2. ./postgresql-6.5.3/src/backend/access/nbtree/nbtcompare.c

line 156: insert cast: res = strcoll((const char *)ap, (const char *)bp)

156c156
<       res = strcoll(ap, bp);
---
>       res = strcoll((const char *)ap, (const char *)bp);

3. ./postgresql-6.5.3/src/include/c.h

line 173: comment out int8
line 174: comment out int16
line 175: comment out int32

173,175c173,175
< /* typedef signed char int8;          *//* == 8 bits */
< /* typedef signed short int16;        *//* == 16 bits */
< /* typedef signed int int32;          *//* == 32 bits */
---
> typedef signed char int8;             /* == 8 bits */
> typedef signed short int16;           /* == 16 bits */
> typedef signed int int32;             /* == 32 bits */

I think that this should be done via configure...


4. ./postgresql-6.5.3/src/include/utils/int8.h

line 33: comment out int64

33c33,34
< /* typedef long long int int64; */
---
> typedef long long int int64;

I think that this should be done via configure...

5. ./postgresql-6.5.3/pl/plpgsql/src/scan.l

AIX 4.3.2 lex produces errors, flex 2.5.4 seams to be ok
