I run into a problem when I upgraded my system to the newest glibc binutils. Postgres 8 wan't compile: alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=ev56 -O3 -pipe -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -I../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o zic.o zic.c -MMD alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=ev56 -O3 -pipe -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -I../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o ialloc.o ialloc.c -MMD alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=ev56 -O3 -pipe -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -I../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o scheck.o scheck.c -MMD alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=ev56 -O3 -pipe -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing zic.o ialloc.o scheck.o localtime.o -L../../src/port -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lpgport -lpam -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lreadline -lcrypt -lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lbsd -o zic /usr/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../libdl.so: undefined reference to `_rtld_global_ro@GLIBC_PRIVATE' /lib/libc.so.6.1: undefined reference to `__tls_get_addr@GLIBC_2.3' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [zic] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/postgresql-8.0.1-r3/work/postgresql-8.0.1/src/timezone' I remember to see a equivalent bug report from an x86.

Please ignore this bug report. There was an older libc library installed under /usr/lib and postgres linked against this file. Which of course can't work. These older libc files was left on my system, because sometime ago I had to rescue my system manually. Sorry...
