some linker troubles with rc5 on sun studio 9 ... - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

i have encountered some problems with sun studio 9 (version 8 always 
worked for me).
obviously it does not like my linker flags ...

when running the following script I get ...

#!/bin/sh

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# PATH=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/:/opt/sfw/bin:$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin
PATH=/usr/ccs/bin/:/opt/SUNWspro/bin/:/opt/sfw/bin::/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

gmake distclean
CC='/usr/ucb/cc'

export CC
export PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --disable-rpath --enable-debug 
--without-readline --without-gnu-ld

the right compiler and linker are chosen ...

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... no
checking whether /usr/ucb/cc accepts -g... yes
configure: using CFLAGS=-v -g
checking whether the C compiler still works... yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /usr/ucb/cc -Xa -E
...
checking for flex... /opt/sfw/bin/flex
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for non-GNU ld... /usr/ccs/bin//ld
checking if the linker (/usr/ccs/bin//ld) is GNU ld... no
checking for ranlib... ranlib


running gmake will leave me with an error ...

I cannot find something unusual in tuptoaster.c ...

static Datum
toast_save_datum(Relation rel, Datum value)
{        Relation        toastrel;        Relation        toastidx;        HeapTuple       toasttup;

int32          chunk_seq = 0;
 


when using the following configure options I will get a different error:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --enable-debug --without-readline

configure will still find the right path to the linker by the way ...

does anybody know how to fix that problem?
