I can see it in 9.1 but not in 9.0, but I haven't had the time to pinpoint the exact change. Although it's a bit odd, it's not really a problem, I think. If you want to rebuild analyze.o, you should write "make analyze.o". If you want to rebuild postgres, run make in src/backend, and analyze.o (or whatever) will be rebuilt. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
