Fixed...

2. configure dies (!)
---------------------
Running configure, dies with the following:

checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes
checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... time.h
checking for int timezone... yes
checking for union semun... yes
Argument expected

Please investigate this one further and let me know what is
required to fix it?

3. My expected output files for Irix have not been incorporated in
.../src/test/regress/expected/ :-(
------------------------------------------------------------------

Erk...resend it to me privately?

4. gmake install fails for ecpg files
-------------------------------------

The ecpg files are using
install -c -m 755
to do the installation rather than
$(INSTALL) $(INSTLOPTS)

This applies to .../src/interfaces/ecpg/include/Makefile
and .../src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/Makefile

Damn, thought I had got all of these :( Fixed now...

I complained about this one a few months back. There is a test condition
that needs to be double-quoted. In my generated configure, it's at line
#3230 in the test whether gcc needs -traditional.

I seem to recall that it was more a bug in autoconf that in the postgres
configure script.

I understand nothing about how autoconf works...
All I can say from hacking the configure script itself is that it's
during the test for whether gcc needs --traditional which is being
run even when the compiler is not gcc

I hope I still have it:-) If not, I'll regenerate on the next snapshot
I try - probably tomorrow

Bets wishes,
