I tried with last Sundays snapshot (I think). I got it to compile,
with some minor fixes necessary. However I was yet unable to run the
regression tests yet. It appears, I already have problems during the
initdb stage. I'm going to write a more detailed report next morning (my
local time).

One major problem is, that I can't connect with psql to the postmaster
via the UNIX domain socket. Judging from netstat (below) output the
postmaster is listening ok.

$ netstat -f unix
Active UNIX domain sockets
Address  Type          Vnode     Conn Addr
805c6f9c stream         2204        0 /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432

Are there any SOLARIS specific ifdefs in the UNIX domain socket stuff?
If there are, I think it could very well be, that they also apply for
SVR4.
