Hi MIPS porters! postgresql-7.4 and -8.0 built fine with gcc-3.3, but since the gcc 4 switch, they constantly fail on mips and mipsel: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=postgresql-7.4&ver=1%3A7.4.8-14&arch=mips&stamp=1122629954&file=log&as=raw cc -g -Wall -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -g -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -L../../src/port -Wl,-E access/SUBSYS.o bootstrap/SUBSYS.o catalog/SUBSYS.o parser/SUBSYS.o commands/SUBSYS.o executor/SUBSYS.o lib/SUBSYS.o libpq/SUBSYS.o main/SUBSYS.o nodes/SUBSYS.o optimizer/SUBSYS.o port/SUBSYS.o postmaster/SUBSYS.o regex/SUBSYS.o rewrite/SUBSYS.o storage/SUBSYS.o tcop/SUBSYS.o utils/SUBSYS.o -lpam -lssl -lcrypto -lkrb5 -lz -lreadline -lcrypt -lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lpgport -o postgres access/SUBSYS.o: In function `GetRedoRecPtr': /build/buildd/postgresql-7.4-7.4.8/build-tree/postgresql-7.4.8/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c:3075: undefined reference to `tas' tas() defines test-and-set for implementing spinlocks efficiently, and is arch specific. I tried to debug this on casals and vaughan, but neither host has the postgresql-7.4 build deps installed in the sid dchroot, and thus I didn't come very far. The definition of the symbols __mips__ and __sgi (which are tested in s_lock.c) hasn't changed between 3.3 and 4.0, so this seems to be really tricky. In a followup upload I tried to disable spinlocks entirely; this helped for postgresql-8.0, so that this will be slow as hell on mips, but at least it built. However, it didn't help with 7.4, it is still FTBFS. Is anybody of you interested in helping me to fix this? Installing the -7.4 and 8.0 build dependencies would probably be enough for me to debug this myself. However, any further help from you is of course highly appreciated. :-) Another issue: postgresql-8.0 8.0.3-12 is built on mips for days now, but the buildd doesn't upload it. This blocks the testing migration and I don't want to do another upload before the current version is in Etch. Any idea what causes this? Thanks in advance for any help and have a nice day!
