Postgresql 6.5.1 and alpha -- a question from RedHat

[As part of my discussion with Jeff Johnson at RedHat regarding rpms, he
posed the following question, which I am unable to answer. His e-mail
address is jbj@redhat.com.]

Do you know if 6.5.1 will run on alpha? We (Red Hat) will probably
put out an errata for postgresql as soon as it runs on alpha.

My latest information is that there is still a problem with spinlocks on
alpha. If acceess to hardware is a problem, then we might be able to help.

Thanks to all. I saw the advice to turn off optimization (-o0), and
already forwarded that info to him.
