ISTM that libpq should not be linked with -Wl,-bI:../../../src/backend/postgres.imp, since it's not intended to be loaded into the backend. Without having looked at the code, I'm wondering if the AIX makefiles stick that option into LDFLAGS_SL rather than someplace more restricted. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
