Here we go, in include/port/linux.h and include/storage/s_lock.h, change
"defined(sparc)" to "defined(__sparc__)".
I used to define "sparc" manually on the buildd, but have since decided to
leave it at gcc's default specs since I guess they know better, and force
fixes into packages that don't detect it properly. After making that
change, things built properly.
Go ahead and downgrade this bug to normal, since I have a build for sparc,
and the severity is questionable given the cirumstances (and the fact that
we need to forge ahead with test cycle 3). Check the current postgresql
for similar problems and fix it up in woody. That would satisfy Stephen
and I for this bug.
