Compiling PostgreSQL 8.1.5 with 64-bit on a G5 - Mailing list pgsql-ports

I'm having difficulty compiling PostgreSQL 8.1.5 with 64-bit
instructions on a G5 running Mac OS X Server 10.4.8.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --enable-thread-safety CFLAGS='-
O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-
after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -mcpu=970 -
mtune=970 -mpowerpc64 -mpowerpc-gpopt -arch ppc64' --without-readline
--without-zlib

I had to specify --without-readline and --without-zlib, because they
are presumably 32-bit on the system. The following error occurs when
calling configure as above:

checking thread safety of required library functions... no
configure: error:
*** Thread test program failed.  Your platform is not thread-safe.
*** Check the file 'config.log'for the exact reason.

And the config.log has the following:

configure:22595: gcc -no-cpp-precomp -o conftest -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-
prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -
Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -mpo
werpc64 -mpowerpc-gpopt -arch ppc64 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -

EAD_SEMANTICS -DIN_CONFIGURE     conftest.c -lresolv -ldl -lm   >&5
In file included from conftest.c:131:
./src/tools/thread/thread_test.c:141: error: parse error before
'platform_is_threadsafe'
./src/tools/thread/thread_test.c:141: warning: type defaults to 'int'
in declaration of 'platform_is_threadsafe'
...

and line 141 of thread_test.c is:
static bool platform_is_threadsafe = true;

So I changed thread_test.c (lines 27 - 29) from

#ifndef bool
typedef char bool;
#endif

to

#undef bool
#ifndef bool
typedef char bool;
#endif

and then the configure went through successfully.

On to make. When I tried to make, I got the following errors:

In file included from ../../src/include/postgres.h:48,
                  from copydir.c:19:
../../src/include/c.h:194: error: parse error before '*' token
../../src/include/c.h:194: warning: type defaults to 'int' in
declaration of 'BoolPtr'
../../src/include/c.h:194: warning: data definition has no type or
storage class

So, then I made a similar change to c.h as I did to thread_test.c by
adding #undef bool before #ifndef bool.

and then make goes a lot further and comes up with a ton of "warning:
type defaults to 'int' in declaration of ..." errors. A full log of
the errors follow below. Any PostgreSQL developer have access to a G5
OS X box where they can specify 'arch ppc64' in the CFLAGS? Or, any
ideas I can try to get PostgreSQL 8.1.5 compiled with 64-bit
instructions on a G5 running OS X Tiger with the 'arch ppc64' flag?

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

PostgreSQL does not have native spinlock support on this platform. To

However, performance will be poor. Please report this to pgsql-
