No, maybe ask in gentoo-users or -dev? Anyway just because it's not marked
"stable" does not mean it isn't. It's very unfortunate that distributions
have adopted these terms because more often than not they have absolutely
nothing to do with the *runtime* stability of the software.
Presumably the stable status is more to do with all the packages that
depend on postgres, rather than postgres itself. I guess the reason it
hasn't been marked stable yet is just lack of round tuits for someone to
test all the other packages.
Another question would be does anybody know of any instability of
postgresql 8.1 unstable for gentoo x86?
~x86 works just fine. How could it not? It's just the same as compiling
yourself - which is considered to be acceptable, if not good, practice on
all other platforms and distributions too. If a particular build would be
totally broken/untested/known to eat your soul it would be hardmasked.
