I'm seeing the following errors when compiling postgres 7.4.8 (vanilla)
on AIX 5.3

make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/src/postgresql-7.4.8/src/port'

I've looked into pthread.h and it's refereing to pthread_barrier_t,
pthread_barrierattr_t and pthread_spinlock_t. These do not exist in
pthread.h on our 5.1 box. However they are defined in sys/types.h which
is included up near the top pthread.h.

I'm somewhat at a loss about where this could be going wrong.

Configure options follow

./configure --prefix=/opt/dbs/pgsql748-slony105-AIX53-2005-06-13
-
--with-includes=/opt/dbs/readline/include:/opt/dbs/zlib/include:/usr/ccs/include:/opt/freeware/include:/usr/local/include
-
--with-libraries=/opt/dbs/readline/lib:/opt/dbs/zlib/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/local/lib
- --enable-thread-safety --enable-debug --enable-aix64

Note that this binary will need to have slony support which is why the
- --enable-thread-safety. We've had success compiling postgres on AIX 5.1
with identical settings. We're using gcc 3.3.2

The thread_test program fails identically:

- -bash-2.05b$ make
gcc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -g -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
- -Wmissing-declarations -I../../../src/include
- -I/opt/dbs/readline/include -I/opt/dbs/zlib/include
- -I/opt/freeware/include -c -o thread_test.o thread_test.c
