go into compat.c and job.c and wherever you see "WIFsomething(foo.w_status)"
change it to "WIFsomething(foo)".  i broke this for AIX when porting to
solaris (i checked that it works on everything else just now).

(i ran regress and multiuser tests on everything but only bootstrapped
from the tar file on about 1/3 of the platforms.  this one slipped through
the cracks, oh well, sorry.  i don't get paid to do this..)

while i'm here, postgres will not work on mips R4000 boxes (i.e., dec 
ultrix boxes upgraded with the R4000 daughter cards) -- the ultrix 
dynamic loader fiddles around with opcodes.  it will also not work
on the alpha multiprocessors (running osf/1 3.0) with >1 processor,
though this one has been figured out.
