Description Stefan de Konink 2010-10-19 07:26:10 UTC

First of all, when having 'threads' enabled, I'm getting a 'your platform is not thread safe'. If I disabled threads I get:

Comment 1 Stefan de Konink 2010-10-19 07:58:41 UTC

The fix seems to be:

src/include/c.h:183
//#ifndef bool
typedef char bool;
//#endif

But where it is defined prior... no clue...

Comment 2 Jérémy Just 2010-12-25 17:22:47 UTC

I confirm the bug with dev-db/postgresql-base-8.4.5 on Gentoo PPC hardened.

I've recently upgraded from gcc-4.3.4 to gcc-4.4.4 and that has caused a few problems with some packages (XEmacs, for example). Postgresql may have been affected by this upgrade too.

Comment 3 Jérémy Just 2011-04-10 22:11:49 UTC

Problem still exists with dev-db/postgresql-base-9.0.3 and 9.0.3-r1

After an emerge failure, if I enter the directory /var/tmp/portage/dev-db/postgresql-base-9.0.3/work/postgresql-9.0.3 and I run the configure and make with the same options that are in the log file, everything works smoothly:

<<<<<<<<<<

$ make

So I suppose the bug is in the ebuild, and not in PostgreSQL. Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about the ebuild debugging process. I'm just starting to read the developer handbook.

What could I do to help finding the problem?

It's sort of in the ebuild. For that manual run, you also need to pass the various environment variables set by Portage.

Comment 5 Stefan de Konink 2011-07-11 10:59:07 UTC

Any updates? My workaround is working even in the 9.0.4-r2 so could anyone take some action on this?

Give the latest revisions a go.
