Re: Index Anding

I will investigate this.

Our gcc is only able to compile 32 bit. I think I will have to see if I
can get/compile a 64 bit gcc

I appreciate the help!

Here's the environment data submitted to ./configure for a recent build
of 8.1.5:
pgdba@ydb1 $ ./pg_config --configure '--prefix=/where/I/stow/it
'--enable-thread-safety' '--enable-debug'
'--with-libraries=/opt/freeware/lib'
'--with-includes=/opt/freeware/include' 'CC=gcc -maix64'
'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-bmaxdata:0x80000000,-bbigtoc'

Note that you also need to export:
export OBJECT_MODE=64

And you need to make sure that you are using the AIX ld, and not GNU
ld...

For version 7.4, it was considerably fiddlier to do a build.  For 8.2,
it is neither overly baroque nor overly unpleasant, which I consider a
direct result of the combination of Seneca Cunningham's reports to
-hackers/-ports as well as BuildFarm runs...
