I had to add quite a bit of code to make the database (oltp) workload run properly on Linux, around the way that I/O is submitted (using Oracle's io_submit instead of aio_write), and the way shared memory is allocated and used.

The makefiles/autoconf stuff isn't an issue (I didn't make any specific changes there). We need to integrate these set of changes to enable Linux to be complete...
