plperl and pgport
Hi,
Compiling 8.0.0RC2 on AIX 4.3 on an RS600 with gcc, in src/pl/plperl, got
the following error:
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -fno-strict-aliasing
-Wl,-bnoentry -Wl,-H512 -Wl,-bM:SRE -o libplperl.so libplperl.a

Adding -lpgport to this command line allowed the build to continue.
Is this the proper place to send build errors like this? What's a useful
subject line?

That seems like the wrong fix. Why isn't the linker finding
pg_strcasecmp in the main backend?
