Thanks. I wonder why they define this datatype. I didn't find it on any
other architecture.
Anyway, does anyone have a suggestion how to solve this issue? Informix
uses the dtime_t datatype to store a timestamp. pgtypeslib also defines
a timestamp type which is 64 bit and not 32 bit like the NetBSD one.
Informix compatibility now typedefs dtime_t to timestamp so the
functions with Informix syntax work as advertized.
If I do not define this datatype, Informix compatibility will not work,
if I define it, NetBSD is not able to compile to regression tests. Of
course we can work around the regression test problem, but a user using
the Informix compatibility feature on NetBSD will run into the same
problem.
