Bug #576: Can not compile IRIX + GCC

The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
Can not compile IRIX + GCC

Long Description
/src/backend/storage/lmgr/s_lock.c line 173

.global tas \n\

is incorrect (TYPO). MIPS assembler syntax require " .globl" .

In 7.2 I see:

#if defined(__mips__) && !defined(__sgi)
static void
tas_dummy()
{
__asm__ __volatile__(
"\
.global tas \n\
tas: \n\
.frame $sp, 0, $31 \n\

Can you tell us what OS, OS version, and assembler you are using?

The problem is gcc not postgres, read FAQ-IRIX.
If you use MIPSPro compilers u will have no problems

I'm not sure, I don't remember if I had to do modifications, but 7.2 was
compiled with gcc 3.0
