Re: pthreads issue when compiling 7.4.8 on AIX 5.3

Sorry to be dull-minded, but since PG is not threaded (at least on AIX)
and works fine, why would Slony (threaded or not) have a problem? There
aren't likely to be thread-to-thread interactions, eg.

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

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
