Well, in order to do this properly for linux/alpha & the egcs compiler u
need to know more, or realize more on the dangers of casting. Please
note that I haven't said improperly, blithely, or arbitarily. Things
just happen in the alpha if things are not properly casted. In the case
of postgres this happens to be a (major) problem with function calls &
function parameters. I have fixed just enough to get the regression
tests to work.
BTW I'd really love to have a redhat 6.0/alpha cd but not at the going
price of $79.00
