HEAD build troubles, buildfarm misconfigurations - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Trying to build 8.3 from the stable snapshot again (yes, I'm a glutten for
punishment), and using the following config options:

./configure --prefix=/home/rob/devel/postgresql/83snapshot20070904/pgsql/
--enable-cassert --with-perl --enable-debug --with-pgport=5483 --with-libxml

I get the following error during make (configure runs fine)

gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels
-fno-strict-aliasing-g -DFRONTEND -I. -I../../../src/interfaces/libpq -I../../../src/bin/pg_dump -I../../../src/include

Looking at /usr/include/netdb.h I see in that section

# ifdef __USE_GNU
/* Structure used as control block for asynchronous lookup.  */
struct gaicb
{ const char *ar_name;      /* Name to look up.  */ const char *ar_service;   /* Service name.  */ const struct
addrinfo*ar_request; /* Additional request specification.  */ struct addrinfo *ar_result;   /* Pointer to result.  */
/*The following are internal elements.  */ int __return; int __unused[5]; 
};

/* Lookup mode.  */
#  define GAI_WAIT  0
#  define GAI_NOWAIT    1
# endif

If anyone has any ideas on what might fix the above, I'd be interested in
hearing them.  (And oddly, the snapshot built fine a couple days ago)

The second half of this story is that I thought it was odd none of the
buildfarm machines had reported this error, so I went poking for another
ubuntu machine (I am running Ubuntu 6.06), preferrably one that was also
trying to build xml, and I noticed "barasingha" (ubuntu 7.04) was configured
with --with-xml, which afaict should produce nothing more than a configure
warning.  I looked at a handful of other machines configured for xml and they
all seemed right, but maybe someone can do a more thorough search in the db?
Or maybe there is a way to capture configure warnings?
