So my reward for that is to find that every one of the Solaris 11
buildfarm members is failing today:
pg_regress: initdb failed
Examine /export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/log/initdb.log for the reason.
Command was:
"/export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/inst/bin/initdb"
-D"/export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/data" -L
"/export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/inst/share/postgresql"

make: *** [check] Error 2
================== pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/log/initdb.log ===================
initdb: too many command-line arguments (first is "-L")
Try "initdb --help" for more information.
Running in noclean mode. Mistakes will not be cleaned up.
Apparently the system version of getopt_long is broken on Solaris 11.
My patience for this grows short.
