                        POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE
============================================================================


Your name        :    Pete Forman
Your email address    :       pete.forman@westgeo.com


System Configuration
---------------------
  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)      : RS6000 POWER3

  Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF)     : AIX 4.3.2

  PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-7.0):   PostgreSQL-7.0.3

  Compiler used (example:  gcc 2.8.0)        : xlc 3.6.6


Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------

"gmake" with no arguments fails.  postgres.imp is made before objects
that it depends on.  "gmake all" works.



Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

gmake




If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Makefile.ports (copied from makefiles/Makefile.aix) is included before
the default target in GNUmakefile is reached.  This patch calls that
default target.

It would be better to just mention the target 'all:' near the top of
Makefile.global.

This is fixed in current sources, in case someone pondered applying the
patch there, too.
