Re: Glibc2 (was Re: [HACKERS] PostgreSQL - the Linux of Databases...) - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Got a good install from Cristian's latest Postgres rpm and the Feb 24 glibc2
found in his home area. Passed the "one minute" test.

Thanks Cristian! What was the secret? Was it the compiler, or -O setting, or ??

btw, there is a one-line patch you could apply before doing a full release; it
fixes an obscure but occasionally useful feature in the type support code. I
haven't committed it to the source tree yet.
