Failed regression tests

I recently compiled and installed PostgreSQL 7.0 on a P-III workstation
running SuSE Linux 6.2 (2.2.10 kernel, gcc ver. 2.7.2.3).  The compilation
completed with some non-fatal warnings, but when I ran the sequential
regression tests, five failures occurred.

The first two failures may reflect a 'formating' problem:

 1. int8, test 13:    a "$" appears left-justified in all entries in 2nd col
 2. numeric, test 13: a "$" appears left-justified in all entries in 2nd col

I am using an international code page (LANG=en_US.iso88591), and perhaps the
$ appears because I used /.configure --enable-locale?

The next two failures may reflect a 'sorting' problem:

 3. select_implicit:  output lines sorted A,B,b,C,c,X instead of A,B,C,X,b,c
 4. select_having:    output lines sorted b,X instead of X,b

The final "select_view" failure is rather messy:

My config.log reports 3 problems which may have caused the failures:

  int64 a = 20000001;
  int64 b = 40000005;

  int does_int64_work()

    int64 c,d;

    if (sizeof(int64) != 8)
      return 0;                   /* doesn't look like the right size */

    /* Do perfunctory checks to see if 64-bit arithmetic seems to work */
    c = a * b;
    d = (c + b) / b;
    if (d != a+1)
      return 0;
    return 1;
  }
  main() {
    exit(! does_int64_work());
  }

Finally, the /.configure output included a dozen or so  check ... (no)
entries (including some header files), which may contribute to the failures.

Have I banged into configure bugs, missing or misplaced Linux libraries, or
my own stupidity?

Thanks for any pointers,
