Results of compiling PostgreSQL 7.1.2 w/IRIX 6.5.11 and MipsC 7. 3.1.2m

Hi,

no idea if anyone would care to comment but here are the results I got upon
compiling a default installation (except --prefix) of PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on
my SGI INDIGO2, with IRIX 6.5.11 and MipsC 7.3.1.2m (-n32). Contents of this
posting is

1. Configuration
2. Build [1 error/a bunch of warnings]
3. Regression Tests [2 failures]

2. Build
========

gmake

src/Makefile.global:261: *** missing separator. Stop.

Don't know whether this is due to my gmake (I only have v3.67). In any case,
I
commented out the offending line

-include $(top_srcdir)/src/Makefile.custom

and tried again. The compilation then went thru with the following warnings:

All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install.

3. Regression Tests
===================

gmake check

Nothing new here: only the <geometry>/<join> tests failed in the same way as

already reported by other IRIX devotees.
