Thread: Bug in configure.in, minor annoyance, PostgreSQL 7.2devel & FreeBSD 2.2.8

Hi, and thank you for a great ORDBMS.

The configure.in file erraneous assumes that FreeBSD 1.x and 2.x have
ELF capability.

While this is true to some extent, this assumption makes it impossible
to compile PostgreSQL 7.1 and 7.2devel without the --disable-shared
switch during configuration.

Below you'll find my diff to configure.in, rev. 1.126.

Index: configure.in
