I've just run into an issue with this (commit a1207910968). The makefile now assumes that zic has this switch. But I was attempting to get around an issue on msys2 by using its zic, (ZIC=/usr/bin/zic configure ...). It crashes on the floor because it doesn't know about "-b slim". I think we probably need a way to turn this off. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan https://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
