^^^^^^^^^^
I have tested it with DEC C and works right out of the box. I have tried
gcc 2.7.2 in the past, and have never been able to build postgres with it.
gcc 2.8 doesn't work either, and now it seems that egcs behaves the same.
Probably there is something wrong with the spinlock implementation for
gcc/alpha, but I don't have the time to investigate it.
Cheers,
Pedro.
