NS32K machine I contributed.  In any case, I now have postgresql-6.3
running again on NetBSD/pc532, a NS32532 machine.  The following
changes are needed relative to the src directory.  (It looks like
support was partially removed when the files were moved from the
src/backend/storage/.... tree to the src/include tree.)

If you need me to get a current development version of postgresql
for this change let me know.  Also, let me know if this code needs
updating due to another code movement that deleted the old NS32K
support.

Thank you.

\d? results in one query. Add \d? field search feature.  Rename MB
to MULTIBYTE.

GCC, the inner "#if defined(__GNUC__)" can just be omitted in that
architecture's block.

The existing arrangement with an outer "#if defined(__GNUC__)"
doesn't have any obvious benefit, and it encourages missed cases
like this one.


BTW, I'd suggest making the definition of clear_lock for HPUX be

static const slock_t clear_lock = {{-1, -1, -1, -1}};

The extra braces are needed to suppress warnings from gcc, and
declaring it const just seems like good practice.

but as I don't have access to a sparc for testing I just did what
I could. I am guessing here, but please apply the following to your
pgsql and let me know what happens. Also, cd to src/storage/buffer
and do 'make s_lock_test' as well.

members to be clearer.  Fix cost computation for these.

 SELECT 1 UNION SELECT NULL;

requires manual editing of src/backend/port/getrusage.c, because
its substitute version of getrusage is #if'd out.

There is no good reason for that, because configure won't even
include the file into the Makefile unless the platform hasn't got
getrusage.  Furthermore, we only have one working substitute version
of getrusage --- the alleged HPUX syscall-based code doesn't work.
(It causes a coredump because the syscall returns a struct rusage
that's much larger than the stub struct defined in
src/include/rusagestub.h.)  The times()-based emulation works fine
on HPUX, however.

I propose, therefore, that getrusage.c should just unconditionally
compile the times-based version, and rely on configure to include
the file only if needed.  This will be one less manual configuration
step on all platforms that need this code.

Patch attached.

Tom Lane.
