Re: initdb failure with Postgres 8.4.4

Well, why are you configuring the prefix to be inside your build tree?
This is an odd thing to do. The prefix should be set to where you
expect to install the files, not where you're building them.

CONFIGURE = '--prefix=/home/<build-path>/build/Linux/qe_x86_64'
'--without-readline' '--without-zlib'

Still:

...this seems reasonable.

---------------------------------------------------------

It is odd, but this only reflects some quick hack I did to have a test case outside of our standard build framework.
I wanted to make sure the odd problem with timezones is not coming from our overloaded build environment.
Production makefile does it much better.

If I don't find a better option - do you see any disadvantage in using --with-system-tzdata and OS timezone info on Solaris and Linux?
