Very likely --- I heard from someone recently who was trying to run HPUX/Itanium. After we got past the hard-wired assumption that HPUX == HPPA, it was still giving lousy performance for lack of spinlocks. I like the part of the patch that is in-your-face about that. > I just learned from Larry that Unixware defines intel as i386, not > __i386 or __i386__, at least of the native SCO compiler that he uses.

Please, only the first two. Make the Unixware template add __i386__. Don't add assumptions about valid user-namespace symbols. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
