Release of 6.4.1
Here are the list of changes for 6.4.1.
If your 6.4.1 pgsql/HISTORY file does not contain this at the top, you
have a faulty 6.4.1 distribution. I recommend you go to
ftp.postgresql.org or www.postgresql.org to get a new one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 6.4.1 Fri Dec 18 00:29:11 EST 1998

pg_upgrade utility.

Fix prototype for 64-bit platforms
If this is the prototyping problem in backend/port/snprintf.c that I
contributed, it did not help the problem of compiling 6.4.1 on Digital
Unix 4.0d using either gcc or cc. Here is my environment:
gcc 2.8.1
gmake GNU Make version 3.77
Digital cc 4.25
To set up cc as the compiler, I used the following command:
./configure --with-CC=cc --without-CXX
This failed, so I did the following:
gmake distclean
./configure
This also failed, but for a different cause.
I am attaching transcripts of the gmake session for each of the compilers.
Can anyone provide a suggestion to get 6.4.1 to compile?
Thanks,
Carl

I did not apply the entire patch you gave to 6.4.* because we only
wanted bug fixes we were sure wouldn't break anything. I did apply the
entires patch to 6.5 tree.
