Has anyone tried to compile postgres with Visual Age compiler on
OpenPower5 (IBM-ese for linux only PowerPC based server) either 32 or 64
bit ?

We got it to build fine on both Suse and RHAS, but have had no luck with
VAC.


I have not researched any deeper,but  currently it fails with

.[hannu@power postgresql-8.0.3]$
CC=/opt/ibmcmp/vac/7.0/bin/xlc ./configure
..A..
checking for int timezone... yes
checking types of arguments for accept()... configure: error: could not
determine argument types



Our "supported platforms" page does not show compiler, perhaps it should
be there as a separate column, not as remark for just some platforms.
