* Estimate of Solaris port date?

Are we seeing any light at the end of the tunnel on the
"official" Solaris  2.3 port? Would anyone care to offer
a rough estimate (using a granularity of, say, months) as
to when it will be complete?

Thanks,
Leif Neve

i finally got a single codebase passing regression on
	hpux 9.03
	osf/1 2.0
	solaris 2.3 (with frank delahoyde's hacked gcc)
as well as all of the things it was working on before.  (there were 
both compiler and software license/version problems on all of those 
platforms, and to be frank i haven't exactly been spending full time 
on it..)

so as soon as it seems to pass my feeble multiuser tests i'll be done.

                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We are stuck with gcc at our site. So will we need this hacked version 
of gcc:

	(a) To do local build-from-source installations of Postgres?
	(b) To define C functions?

If either (a) or (b) produces a yes, then can you advise as to how
we can get these hacks. Does FSF know about them?

Thanks,
Leif Neve

yes.

it's a one-line change to sparc.c; it's included in frank's patchfile
on our ftp server.  yeah, the cygnus guys sent it to fsf but who knows
when the next release of gcc will come out.
