The problem is that libcrypto.so has an unresolved symbol on Debian
and this is making the "long long int is 64bit" test fail in configure
fail, so it thinks long long is not 64bit. (So the only difference
between this and a correct build is that HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 is not
defined.)
I don't know if this is the way postgresql is supposed to behave on
platforms with no 64-bit integer; if not, there is a postgresql bug
here.
Also, I'm not sure if the "upgrade the database to a new version"
scripts are from the Debian package or upstream, but it looks like
they need more error checking. (Brian tells me that it bailed on
most of the data inserts, but claimed that everything went ok.)
