Here are patches needed to complie under AIX 4.2.
I changed configure.in, pqcomm.c, config.h.in, and fe-connect.c.
Also I had to install flex because lex did not want to translate pgc.l.

is wrong and dangerous unless you are using contrib/string.  We really
need a thorough look at the issue of making the backend and the FE/BE
protocols completely 8-bit-clean for string data, but that's a task
for some future release.

debate was from Paul Vixie, who wanted INET to be the name covering
both IPV4 and IPV6.  The following kit makes the needed changes:

and possibly other problems.  Minor changes in xact.c and postgres.c's
main loop to support new handling of async NOTIFY.

and make backend/libpq/pqcomm.c only try to lock the socket file when
the call exists.  Also, change open-RDONLY to open-WRONLY; at least
on my platform, you can't get a write lock on a file you didn't open
for writing.

system.  Finally got tired of looking at the compiler warning messages.
BSHIFT isn't all that useful, so I just took out the macro.

    for against a just updated CVS tree. It contains

        Partial new rewrite system that handles subselects,  view
        aggregate  columns, insert into select from view, updates
        with set col = view-value and select rules restriction to
        view definition.

        Updates  for  rule/view  backparsing utility functions to
        handle subselects correct.


        New system views pg_tables and pg_indexes (where you  can
        see the complete index definition in the latter one).

        Enabling array references on query parameters.

        Bugfix for functional index.

        Little changes to system views pg_rules and pg_views.


    The rule system isn't a release-stopper any longer.

    But  another  stopper  is  that  I  don't  know if the latest
    changes to PL/pgSQL (not already in CVS) made it  compile  on
    AIX. Still wait for some response from Dave.

    parameters. With it applied a function like

    CREATE FUNCTION getname(oid8, int4) RETURNS name AS
        'SELECT typname FROM pg_type WHERE oid = $1[$2]'
        LANGUAGE 'sql';

    is possible. Mainly I need this to enable array references in
    expressions for PL/pgSQL. Complete regression test ran O.K.

Here's the new diff for getting the NS32K assembly code into the
spin-locks.  Notice that it's now inline assembler in s_lock.h,
rather than seperate code in s_lock.c.  It also shrank a little
bit...  Just rip out the S_LOCK() define and insert the tas() inline
function.  Please let me know if there are any problems with it.

planner/optimizer/executor.  It isn't.
Besides, most of the removed code consists of comments about how
it's not right.

Make default S_LOCK macro more robust against syntax mistakes.
(I cleared these changes with David Gould a few days ago.)

pg_operator problems.

1.  The UnixWare tas macro was reformatted (by indent or it like?) which caused
    it to break.  The asm macro construct is very particular about the %mem
    construct -- it has to start in column 1.

2.  When compiling libpq++, g++ was used even if configure found the C++ com-
    piler to be CC.

3.  When compiling libpq++, '-Wno-error' was added to CXXFLAGS, even if the
    compiler wasn't g++.

just two macros.
