Touche, but the man page for the front-end (plain old cc) doesn't list
options and only refers to the acc man page ;)

Onto another Solaris compilation issue...

After a simple './configure' on a stock Solaris 2.6 box the
compilation of interfaces/ecpg/lib/execute.c fails due to the macro
definition of 'gettext' to ''. This macro is invoked on the prototype
of gettext() in libintl.h (included via locale.h).

A './configure --enable-nls' is needed.

To properly fix the problem either:

1. Don't include or use locale functions in execute.c unless
--enable-locale has been specified.

2. In execute.c the include for locale.h whould be moved above that
of postgres_fe.h

3. Replace '#define gettext' in c.h with something more unique
(PG_gettext perhaps?)
