So my reward for that is to find that every one of the Solaris 11
buildfarm members is failing today:

pg_regress: initdb failed
Examine 
/export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/log/initdb.log
 for the reason.
Command was: 
"/export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/inst/bin/initdb"
 -D 
"/export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/data"
 -L 
"/export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/install//export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/inst/share/postgresql"
 --noclean --no-locale > 
"/export/home/tmp/pg-test/build-suncc/HEAD/pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/log/initdb.log"
 2>&1
make: *** [check] Error 2

================== pgsql.6320/src/test/regress/log/initdb.log 
===================
initdb: too many command-line arguments (first is "-L")
Try "initdb --help" for more information.
Running in noclean mode.  Mistakes will not be cleaned up.

Apparently the system version of getopt_long is broken on Solaris 11.
My patience for this grows short.

                        regards, tom lane
