Hi people!

I'm currently trying to install Postgres 6.5.3 on my Alpha ev56
proc. I'm using gcc 2.95.2, and this is a glibc 2.1.2 system (RH6).
Everything's brand new, so as to maximize chances (hope).
I've configured --with-template=linux_alpha, and the making
worked fine. But when launching initdb, postgres hang, complaining
about spin.c (l.114).

I did something stupid: commented out the lock lines in spin.c,
then recompiled. This time, initdb worked (though destroydb doesn't
happen to work any more). But i'm pretty sure it wasn't the right
thing to do ;-)

Any idea, someone ?

Regards
Fabrice Scemama
