Hi Michael,
Thanks for the information ! I'm not a PostgreSQL expert.
I've found the file: ./32bit/src/test/regress/regression.diffs
Since I'm rebuilding right now, I do not have just now the file for v10.1 with the issue.
However, I have it for 10.0 and 9.6.6 which show the same issues. I've attached them to this email.
About the suggestion of adding a AIX machine with xlc v13.1 to the buildfarm, I'll see how this could be done.
Also, I'll try to get a more recent version of xlC v13 .
Cordialement,
Tony Reix

When running regression tests and those fail, there is a file called
regressions.diff which gets generated in src/test/regress showing the
difference between the results generated and the results expected when
running the SQL queries which are part of the regression tests.
Attaching this file to this thread would help in determining what's
wrong with the regression tests.

Note that xlc 12.1 is tested with AIX machines on the buildfarms, but
there is no coverage for 13.1 visibly. It would be nice if you could
set up a buildfarm machine to catch problems way earlier.
