It seems like you want to run make distclean before making patches.

Yup.

I didn't see any ifdef __BEOS__ in the IPC code in your patch. (Heck,
you're lucky you have IPC. The QNX port that was new for 7.0 had to
provide its own implementation of semaphores.)

What worries me is that BEOS seems to predefine bool with typedef.
PostgreSQL requires that bool is a `char', so if your system headers think
otherwise (`int' presumably), then we're in for a lot of trouble. How does
it look?
