Yep. That's what I expected.

SGI technical support seems to think that the problem is with the POSIX flag.

" Have you defined any POSIX variables, such as -D_POSIX_SOURCE
or included pthread.h? When you enable POSIX you will incur a lot of
undefined smbols that are not POSIX compliant. You can check the symbols

in the POSIX standards. "

I can't say that I understand this at all, but I believe she is saying that
the -D_POSIX_SOURCE flag has caused some function declarations to be hidden
from the compiler (?).

In any case, since I have a working copy of 7.1.1 for IRIX, I'll leave all of
it alone for now as it has gone past my comprehension. SGI has a freeware site
with PostgreSQL 7.0.3. I'm sure that they'll figure this out when they try to
build 7.1.1 for the site.
