Re: [BUGS] [Keystone Slip # 14] Building pristine source on RedHat Alpha6.0

Bruce,

Dead sure. It took me some time to locate the offending line. I
initially thought it was a shell expansion problem.

Yikes. Is this the expected behavour? Does anyone else see this?

The platform is RedHat linux 6.0 with egcs-2.91.66.
[me@linny2 src]# ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... alpha-unknown-linux-gnu

...

checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O -mieee # optimization -O2
removed becau
se of egcs problem ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot creat
e executables.

The same sort of thing happens with OSF1 unless you specify

There are comments in the documentation that a few changes are needed
but I have not found what they were/are. For grins I installed egcs as
gcc and I still get this during the make so those "changes" for OSF1
would be nice. Else I get to puzzle out what's happening. Does anybody
have DEC OSF working with postgress?? :-)

OK, I have removed the comment after the optimization flag. In fact,
the comment is not needed now that we have alpha-specific flags for
certain Makefiles.
