Problem building 9.0 Beta 3 US PDF file

Hi,

I could build 9.0 Beta 3 A4 PDF without any issues, but I think something is broken in US PDF generation:

===============================================
$ time make -j3  postgres-US.pdf
{ \
      echo "<!entity version \"9.0beta3\">"; \
      echo "<!entity majorversion \"9.0\">"; \
    } > version.sgml
"/usr/bin/perl" ./mk_feature_tables.pl YES ../../../src/backend/catalog/sql_feature_packages.txt
../../../src/backend/catalog/sql_features.txt> features-supported.sgml 
"/usr/bin/perl" ./mk_feature_tables.pl NO ../../../src/backend/catalog/sql_feature_packages.txt

<*> postgres-US.tex-pdf

Please type another input file name:
===============================================

A simple ls command shows that there are no files under doc/src/sgml directory at this point. This was broken between
beta2and beta3.

Hm.  I'm not seeing that (on Fedora 13), but what I am seeing is that it
grinds for awhile and then fails with

[379.0.22
! pdfTeX error (ext4): \pdfendlink ended up in different nesting level than \pdfstartlink.

                   \endgroup \set@typeset@protect
l.280599 {1}}
             You will want to use a version of GCC subsequent to 3.3.2,
!  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Transcript written on postgres-US.log.
make: *** [postgres-US.pdf] Error 1

which is darn odd seeing that the -A4 version builds OK.

I find that removing the AIX-fixlevels table (and the two references to
it) from installation.sgml makes the postgres-US.pdf build go through on
my F-13 box.  This is pretty weird, since there's nothing obviously
wrong with that table; and if there were something wrong with it, why
doesn't it bother the postgres-A4.pdf build?  Seems like we must be
looking at a strange toolchain bug.

Now, ordinarily I wouldn't suggest removing information from the manual,
but I'm not sure that that table is worth fighting the toolchain for.
It was added here
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2009-06/msg00197.php
on the basis of Laurenz Albe's suggestion here
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-06/msg00884.php
but I don't know how carefully that was researched.  I'm tempted to
propose going back to the "use the latest fixpack" wording that was
there before.

Comments?  Can anyone else reproduce the behavior I'm seeing?

            regards, tom lane

I created the table based on known AIX bugs that affect getaddrinfo,
and it's more than random numbers.

Maybe the problem would go away if the information were not in a table,
but in some other format, say, an unordered list.

But I also see no big problem with returning to "use the latest fixpack".
It is certainly a safe wording, although it will urge people to undergo
the painful procedure of an upgrade even if that is unnecessary.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Great idea --- I find that it works after transforming the table to
a <variablelist>.  I've committed a patch for that.  Devrim, do you
have time to see if CVS branch tip builds the PDFs ok for you?

I've filed a complaint about the problem here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619481
though I'm unsure whether Red Hat's maintainers will be able to help.

It built fine on 9.0 CVS tip.

Thank you, Tom.
