Well I never submitted my patch for building using the Sun compilers
since I thought that the newer versions did support the -Wl
option - I'm using an old (version 4) Sun compiler. However it seems
that Denis it using revision 2 of the latest version 6 compiler!

Well in c.h there is the following define:
#ifdef ENABLE_NLS#include <libintl.h>#else#define gettext(x) (x)#endif#define gettext_noop(x) (x)
so gettext() simply is the supplied parameter if --enable-nls is not
supplied. However ecpg/execute.c has the following includes:
#include "postgres_fe.h"#include <stdio.h>#include <locale.h>
Via postgres_fe.h gettext() gets defined as above. However locale.h
also pulls in the systems libintl.h which has the following prototype:
extern char *gettext();
which the preprocessor changes to:
extern char *();
due to the gettext define in c.h. Naturally this makes the build
fail.
Configuring with --enable-nls gets round this but I don't require that
functionality.
