Solaris 8?
Given that you've enabled -xipo, and the error is related to ipo, I'd
suggest dropping that option for now. What version of the Sun
compilers are you using here?
You might want to consider using gcc for compiler though. In a bit of
testing with the Studio 10 compilers against a recent gcc release, we
found that the gcc built postgres performed better (on our test
workload). This was mostly because the function MemoryContextSwitchTo
is inlined with gcc and not with the Sun compilers. I suppose you could
also try -xinline=%auto,MemoryContextSwitchTo, but then you need
-xcrossfile, which conflicts with -xipo....which leads me back to using gcc.
