Hi Friedrich, the problem is in the hurd kernel that doesn't implement semaphores. The interesting initdb error is this: creating template1 database in /«PKGBUILDDIR»/build/src/test/regress/./tmp_check/data/base/1 ... FATAL: could not create semaphores: Function not implemented DETAIL: Failed system call was semget(1, 17, 03600). We have the weird situation where the server compiles successfully including semget(), but isn't able to get executed because the the kernel doesn't implement the feature. I've talked to the hurd people, and Richard Braun was confirming that inter-process semaphores are not implemented yet. What we can do from the PostgreSQL side is to replace the current sysv semaphores (semget) by POSIX semaphores (sem_init) which don't work either, but have a much greater chance of getting implemented in the future. So some day, it will just work, but until then, PostgreSQL will unfortunately not really be available on that platform.
