Hi, and thank you for a great ORDBMS. The configure.in file erraneous assumes that FreeBSD 1.x and 2.x have ELF capability. While this is true to some extent, this assumption makes it impossible to compile PostgreSQL 7.1 and 7.2devel without the --disable-shared switch during configuration. Below you'll find my diff to configure.in, rev. 1.126.
