x86_64 configure problem - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

On an x86_64 machine I'm finding that I cannot configure --with-python
without the attached patch. Undoubtedly there is a better way to fix
this -- any suggestions?

Another configure issue: I find that --enable-depend breaks parallel builds:

make -j 2
   [...]

Any ideas about how to fix this?

Thanks,

Joe
