Re: Is anyone interested in getting PostgreSQL working on mips[el]?

Martin,

I have installed the Sarge binutils on my "testing/Etch" system and all of the Postgresql regression test pass. I
don't know where to go from here, any suggestions?

Hi Jim!

Martin,

While my build farm mipsel system (corgi) get the sigbus as reported
below, lionfish does not. see
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=lionfish&amp;dt=2006-01-08%2016:51:36

This looks indeed fine. What's the difference between these two?

that I have. So it must be in the software. What do you think is
the best way to tell? I believe my raq is up to date as far as
debian packages for sarge.

I can't test this on sarge/mips myself. I have a sid dchroot on a box
from Florian Lohoff, that's all.

Indeed it could very well be that Debian's sarge packages worked fine
on mips and that this whole story turns out to be a gcc or libc bug in
sid, I don't know. Maybe you could do the test with identical
compiler/postgresql versions and identical postgresql
patches/configure options once on sarge and once on sid?

Thanks a lot for looking into this issue!

Martin
