Simon,
Sounds like Josh is asking for a way to find out the things that matter
on an architecture and compare them with the relevant parts of the
pg_control structure. The 32/64 bit thing was probably just his
shorthand for that. Perhaps we should document how to perform a
portability check?
Pretty much. We're supporting x86 64-bit servers for Solaris now, and
we need SMF to be able to check whether it can safely run x binaries
against y data.
