Hi Tom, thanks for this really fast reply. I've removed the line #include <asm/ia64regs.h> and it compiles now. The function __getReg(_IA64_REG_AR_BSP) In postgres.c seems to be called only on Intel compilers. And I see in asm/ia64regs.h (found on a Linux box) #define _IA64_REG_AR_BSP 3089 in a section /* * Register Names for getreg() and setreg(). * * The "magic" numbers happen to match the values used by the Intel compiler's * getreg()/setreg() intrinsics. */ So I assume asm/ia64regs.h is only needed for Intel compilers on Linux. Since this is not the default behavior are there any concerns to install this version into production? I'm thinking of stability or future updates.
