This seems to work:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ cd src/backend/storage/lmgr
$ rm lwlock.o
$ gcc -O0 -g -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations
-I../../../../src/include -c -o lwlock.o lwlock.c
$ cd -
$ make check
All tests pass except 'geometry'.
I also tried the above with -O1, and it still failed on 'make check'.
So, is it safe to proceed this way? If this turns out to be the
solution, is there anything I should be aware of with regard to
stability and performance vs. a normal install?
Thanks,
David
