Yes, that's correct. That can be bumped up to -O2 now and it works fine (and remove the -g flag as well). It does
createa very small difference in the geometry floating point tests though. I checked with the other platform results
anddidn't find any match so I might just have to generate a specific file.
Another problem I discovered happens when you compile --with-perl. It compiles libpq.a ok, runs ranlib on it, installs
itinto /usr/local/pgsql/lib ok, but then when it tries to build the Perl module and link against it, it generates a
"runranlib on libpq" error. I don't know where exactly it's messing up but simply adding an extra '$(RANLIB)
$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/lib$(NAME).a'right after '$(INSTALL_DATA) $< $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/lib$(NAME).a' in Makefile.shlib
seemsto hack/fix the problem. I have to look closer at the Perl build section I guess.
That assembly code in s_lock.c also really needs to be changed to reflect a possible build on a i386 darwin system.
Thereis already a __powerpc__ label in there and Apple is recommending that we only use __ppc__ or __Apple__ now since
theyplan on phasing the other labels out at some point in the future. How about just using both of these instead? The
theDARWIN_OS flag can be dumped and the i386 code can be tagged as __Apple__ and __i386__.
thanks for you help,
