The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 2546
Logged by: John Weekley
Email address: weekleyj@foobarlabs.net
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4
Operating system: Solaris unknown 5.11 snv_43 i86pc i386 i86pc
Description: PostgreSQL does not have native spinlock support on this
platform
Details:
Platform is 64 bit Solaris x86.
unknown:/export/home/weekleyj/postgresql-8.1.4:>psrinfo -vp
The physical processor has 1 virtual processor (0)
x86 (AuthenticAMD family 15 model 28 step 0 clock 2000 MHz)
Mobile AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+
Relevant build output:
gmake[5]: Entering directory
`/export/home/weekleyj/postgresql-8.1.4/src/backend/access/transam'
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -Xa -xO4 -xarch=amd64 -I../../../../src/include
-I/opt/X64/include -c -o xlog.o xlog.c
"../../../../src/include/storage/s_lock.h", line 814: #error: PostgreSQL
does not have native spinlock support on this platform. To continue the
compilation, rerun configure using --disable-spinlocks. However,
performance will be poor. Please report this to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org.

It looks like s_lock.h currently has coverage for amd64 using gcc, or
sparc64 using either compiler, but not for amd64 using Sun's cc.
Please feel free to send a patch, or you could pester Sun to send us
one (Josh?)

SunStudio is supported on the HEAD (8.2). Spin lock problem is know
issue in version 8.1.4. I don't know if latest 8.1 branch contains
backport.

amd64 support for Sun compilers will be in 8.2. It is already in CVS.

No, we did not backport because of concern that not enough people
reviewed the changes.

Wow, you guys are really,really good.
Many thanks!

P.S. May I ask when we can expect 8.2? Or is is possible to beat on an
alpha/beta?

You can download a snapshot now from our ftp server and test it.
