I have done some more digging on this. The buildfarm member had a
couple of configuration issues which I have remedied, and which almost
certainly account for the float test errors we saw. However, we still
get an error when we try to start the installed s/w with the default
listen_addresses:
LOG: could not translate host name "localhost", service "5832" to
address: servname not supported for ai_socktype
Of course, this won't be seen with "make check", since it starts on
Unix with listen_addresses='', which means we never even look for any
sort of TCP addrinfo.
I found a hint on the web that we should use -D_SOCKADDR_LEN. I tried
this, but got a link failure, complaining about revc and send. This
man page extract explains:
[Tru64 UNIX] The recv() function is identical to the recvfrom()
function
with a zero-valued address_len parameter, and to the read() function
if no
flags are used. For that reason the recv() function is disabled when
4.4BSD behavior is enabled; that is, when the _SOCKADDR_LEN compile-time
option is defined.
I'd like to know some settings that we can use that will get Tru64
cleanly through the buildfarm set. If noone offers any, I propose that
we revert the getaddrinfo() test in configure and use our own on Tru64
until they do.
I have not had any response to this. Is there any objection to my
reverting the configure changes for the head and 8.1 branches? If not I
intend to do that around the end of the week.
