Bug reference: 1212
Logged by: R. Scott Bailey
Email address: scott.bailey@eds.com
PostgreSQL version: 7.5 Dev
Operating system: Tru64 UNIX V5.1B
Description: 8.0.0beta1 build fails with bundled cc compiler
Details:
I just pulled down the 8.0.0beta1 release and built it on my Alphaserver
4100 running Tru64 V5.1B. I was using the bundled C compiler, which reports
itself thus:
# cc -V
Compaq C V6.5-011 on Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650)
Compiler Driver V6.5-003 (sys) cc Driver
I found the following patch (relative to the postgresql-8.0.0beta1
directory) was required in order to compile successfully:

After making this change, the build succeeded and all 96 regression tests
passed.
