Building 8.3 beta 4 stops on (at least) 2 errors

["J6M" <j6m(at)adm(dot)estp(dot)fr>]

Hi,

I tried to compile PG8.3b4 for a test run on a R/S 6K running AIX 4.3 
(powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0)
(Of course, make was replaced with a compiled verstion of GNUmake)

Here are the step by step operations once having detarred the package

1 - Edition of ./src/include/pg_config_manual.h
     Setting BLCKSZ to 16384 (has to get records from a mainframe)

2 - ./configure --prefix=/tmp/pg83b4 --without-readline --without-zlib

3 - make

3.1 - First error happens when compiling tsquery.c

xlc -O2 -qmaxmem=16384 -qsrcmsg -qlonglong -qnoansialias -I../../../../src/include 
  -c -o tsquery.o tsquery.c
     108 |         PT_CLOSE = 5,
           ....................a
a - 1506-275 (S) Unexpected text ',' encountered.

The file shows :

/*
* token types for parsing
*/
typedef enum
{
       PT_END = 0,
       PT_ERR = 1,
       PT_VAL = 2,
       PT_OPR = 3,
       PT_OPEN = 4,
       PT_CLOSE = 5,
} ts_tokentype;

3.2 - I manually removed the offending comma and carried on the building 
process (expecting a major flaw to be detected at the 'make check' stage

   Then the building process stops on ecpg/informix.c

I  ll try again, time permitting, tomorrow with the newly uploaded RC1. I 
had no problem with 8.2.5 and 8.1.10.
