! AIX 4.3.2 with native IBM compiler xlc 3.6.4 passes all regression tests.
! Other versions of OS and compiler should also work. If you don't have 
! a powerpc there might be differences in the geometry regression test.
  
  Use the following configure flags in addition to your own
  if you have readline or libz there:
  --with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib
  
! libpq++ does not work because xlC does not have the string and bool classes.
! compiling the few files, that fail, with g++ does work.
  
- Compiling PostgreSQL with gcc (2.95.2) on AIX also works.
- 
  There will probably be warnings about int8 - int64 redefines, 0.0/0.0
  division and duplicate symbol warnings which you can safely ignore.

! On AIX 4.3.2 PostgreSQL compiled with the native IBM compiler xlc 
! (vac.C 5.0.1) passes all regression tests.
! Other versions of OS and compiler should also work. If you don't have a 
! powerpc or use gcc you might see rounding differences in the geometry
! regression test.
  
  Use the following configure flags in addition to your own
  if you have readline or libz there:
  --with-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib
  
! If you need libpq++ and have trouble --with-CXX=xlC make sure you have
! installed the appropriate C++ include files and use a C++ version that
! supports the string class (e.g. VisualAge C++ filesets vacpp.cmp.batch 5.0
! and vacpp.cmp.include 5.0).
  
  There will probably be warnings about int8 - int64 redefines, 0.0/0.0
  division and duplicate symbol warnings which you can safely ignore.
+ 
+ Compiling PostgreSQL with gcc (2.95.2) on AIX also works.
+ Use the configure flags: --with-CC=gcc
+ 
+ Since the mktime() function does not work on AIX for dates before
+ 1970, all localtime formatted datetimes will not use summer time for
+ dates before 1970.
