Обсуждение: Release of 6.4.1

Here are the list of changes for 6.4.1.

If your 6.4.1 pgsql/HISTORY file does not contain this at the top, you
have a faulty 6.4.1 distribution.  I recommend you go to
ftp.postgresql.org or www.postgresql.org to get a new one.

If this is the prototyping problem in backend/port/snprintf.c that I
contributed, it did not help the problem of compiling 6.4.1 on Digital
Unix 4.0d using either gcc or cc.  Here is my environment:

  gcc 2.8.1
  gmake GNU Make version 3.77
  Digital cc 4.25

To set up cc as the compiler, I used the following command:

  ./configure --with-CC=cc --without-CXX

This failed, so I did the following:

  gmake distclean
  ./configure

This also failed, but for a different cause.

I am attaching transcripts of the gmake session for each of the compilers.
Can anyone provide a suggestion to get 6.4.1 to compile?

Thanks,
Carl
