HPux 11i

From

I've been having a little trouble with compiling on HP.  I compiled version 7.4.5 successfully with the command...
make --without-readline --without-zlib CC=aCC
 
So now I'm trying 8.0.3 with the same arguments.  Everthing compiles and installs, initdb seems to run ok, but when I start the postmaster I get a bunch of errors...
LOG: ordering error in dattktbl table: "ty" >= ""
LOG: ordering error in dattktbl table: "" >= ""
 
So I built with debug and checked it out...
In datetime.c, function CheckDateTokenTables() the call to CheckDateTokenTable("datetktbl", datetktbl, szdatetktbl) seems correct, but once I step into that function, the parameter datetktbl seems to be incorrect.  In CheckDateTokenTables the memory location of datetktbl is 0x4008ec50, while in CheckDateTokenTable the memory location is 0x400.
 
So I tried compiling the whole thing with cc instead of aCC and postmaster just cores (I haven't thrown the debugger on yet).
 
Any clues as to what I should try? (I've been perusing the emails for HP ports, and I haven't found my particular issue - I hate it when that happens!).
 
Thanks in advance

Get a compiler update from HP, or try reducing the optimization level,
or try gcc.  The last few cc releases seem to have been a bit buggy :-(

FWIW, here are my notes from the last time I built Postgres on HP's
testdrive systems, which was about six months ago:

On 11.11:
gcc/main        ok
gcc/contrib        ok
cc/main            ok (with +O2 even)
cc/contrib        ok
/usr/local/pa64/bin:
gcc64/main        Assert in guc.c fails, else ok
gcc64/contrib        ok
cc CFLAGS=+DD64 /main    ok
cc CFLAGS=+DD64 /contrib ok

On 11.23 (IA64):
gcc not available?
cc/main            ok as long as don't use +O with unpatched compiler
cc/contrib        ok
cc CFLAGS=+DD64 /main    ok
cc +DD64 /contrib    ok

Unfortunately I didn't make a note of exactly which compiler versions
were installed on these machines at the time.
