I have submitted two patches to get around build problems. I'd expect
both to be needed for AIX and Solaris at least, as well as IRIX.

"Add support for <xti.h>"
"Bug in pg_restore.c"

A minor problem that I have not addressed is that for the main build I
was able to "make". That found my /usr/local/bin/gmake and from there
on used "gmake". The same feature has not been done in
src/test/regress. Running "gmake" directly is fine though.

The runcheck regression tests are all good except for geometry. That
has nine differences in the least significant digit compared with
geometry-positive-zeros.out. Do you think that's good enough to
submit a geometry-irix.out file?

Summary:

Snapshot with my two patches builds and passes the runcheck regression
tests.
