Hi, we have come across a problem in 8.3.x (8.3.5 and 8.3.7 was tested) while building PostgreSQL for 32-bit on 64-bit RHEL5 and Fedora 9.
The following defines were used before running configure: export CFLAGS="-m32" export LD="ld -melf_i386" The above are needed because when SUBSYS.o files are created, the $(LD) ... lines don't contain $(LDFLAGS) anywhere, so overriding $(LD) on the command line has to be done instead. However, there's one additional problem that can be solved by the attached one liner. The problem is that during building the core, something (test/regress) requires contrib/spi/refint.so to be built. The error follows: make -C ../../../contrib/spi refint.so autoinc.so make[3]: Entering directory `/home/zozo/Schönig-számlák/lucent/postgresql-8.3.5/contrib/spi' gcc -m32 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fpic -DREFINT_VERBOSE -I. -I../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o refint.o refint.c gcc -shared -o refint.so refint.o /usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `refint.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output I tried building contrib manually, but it turned out that the same error happens whenever contrib/*/Makefile contains MODULES instead of MODULE_big. I modified Makefile.port in the attached patch, and now all the contrib files also build correctly. Best regards, Zoltán Böszörményi -- Bible has answers for everything.
