PostgreSQL supported platform report and a patch. - Mailing list pgsql-ports

I am including a set of 4 small patches that enable PostgreSQL 7.3b3 to build
successfully on OpenUnix 8.0.  These same patches should also work for UnixWare
7.x.  I will confirm that tomorrow (Nov 7, 2002).

Here is an explanation of the patches:

1. An update of the FAQ_SCO file.

2. This patch removes a static declaration of a in-line function in
   src/backend/utils/sort/tuplesort.c

3. This patch to src/makefiles/Makefile.unixware, together with the patch to
   src/Makefile.global.in allows any addition library search directories (added
   with the configure --with-libraries option) to be added to the rpath option
   sent to the linker.  The use of a different variable to pass the addition
   search paths was necessary to avoid a circular reference to LDFLAGS.

4. This patch creates the variable (trpath) used by the patch to
   Makefile.unixware.  This patch would also be for other platforms that would
   have to add the additional library search paths to  the rpath linker option.
   See Makefile.unixware for an example of how to do this.

After applying these patches, PostgreSQL successfully compiled on OpenUnix 8
and it passed all the regression tests.
