Обсуждение: Re: [PATCHES] PostgreSQL 7.2.1 and Sun's C compiler under Solaris8
I think we should get rid of the _init and _fini functions altogether, because Solaris is not the only platform where this is a problem. Evidently, there are already workarounds in place in case they don't work, so it shouldn't be a problem to remove them. Let's see what the ODBC guys say.

Well, I am working together a list of open items and will put them up on a website soon so we can address all of them. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026

Is it possible to do that, considering the ODBC compile depends on
having ODBC software present?
I didn't object to expecting readline and zlib to be present by default,
but I'm not happy about expecting ODBC stuff to be present by default.
That seems too far off the beaten path.
