Re: [BUGS] Solaris cc compiler on amd: PostgreSQL does not have native

I have applied your patch with only minor comment additions. Let us
know if additional changes are required. Thanks.

Are these flags required to be supplied to configure, or just the ASM
file?

-Xa -xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64

I am thinking the port isn't 100% fool-proof yet, but it is _much_
closer than it was, and people can now do testing to improve it.
