It does work with the following patch applied and gcc 2.95.2 .
Use --with-template=aix_gcc to compile the whole lot with gcc.
The geometry regression test produces different precision.
With optimization I run into regression failures starting at oidjoins,
thus no -O2. Anybody else try gcc 2.95.2 and -O2 on beta4 ?
This is an important patch, since recent versions of the IBM compiler
are not for free, and thus most questions I get concern gcc.

PS.: I am testing with beta4
1) adds NetBSD shared lib support on both ELF and a.out platforms
2) replaces "-L$(LIBPQDIR) -lpq" with "$(LIBPQ)" defined in
Makefile.global. This makes it much easier to build stuff in
the source tree after you've already installed the libraries.
3) adds TEMPLATEDIR in Makefile.global that indicates where the
database templates are stored. This separates the template files
from real libraries that are installed in $(LIBDIR).
4) changes include order of <readline/readline.h> and <readline.h>.
The latest GNU readline installs its headers under a readline
subdirectory.
In addition to applying the patch below the following files need to be copied:
backend/port/dynloader:
bsd.h -> netbsd.h
bsd.c -> netbsd.c
include/port:
bsd.h -> netbsd.h
makefiles:
Makefile.bsd -> Makefile.netbsd
It would be great to see this incorporated into the source tree before
the 7.0 release is cut.
Thanks!

All of them seem happy with the regression test. Note that, however,
compiling with optimization enabled on NetBSD/macppc causes an initdb
failure (other two platforms are ok). After checking the asm code, we
are suspecting that might be a compiler(egcs) bug.

instead of relying on port's os.h to tell us. (Needed for HPUX
where system major version is not enough info.)
configure unsets USE_TK if X libraries not found.
doc/Makefile uses gzcat or zcat as found by autoconf.
6.3.2 to compile (and run) on my Sparc Solaris 2.5.1 box. Details
below:
pgsql.sparc.patch-template: Adds -D__sparc__ and -D__sun__,
defintions which gcc does define, but Sun's cc does not. :(
pgsql.sparc.patch-makefile: Adds a define so that 'lorder'
is not used, as it is not found on my machine.

in a more readable form. -- I am submitting the following patches
to the June 6, 1998 snapshot of PostgreSQL. These patches implement
a port of PostgreSQL to SCO UnixWare 7, and updates the Univel port
(UnixWare 2.x). The patched files, and the reason
for the patch are:
File Reason for the patch ---------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
src/backend/port/dynloader/unixware.c src/backend/port/dynloader/unixware.h
src/include/port/unixware.h src/makefiles/Makefile.unixware
src/template/unixware
Created for the UNIXWARE port.
src/include/port/univel.h
Modifed this file to work with the changes made to
s_lock.[ch].
src/backend/storage/buffer/s_lock.c src/include/storage/s_lock.h
Moved the UNIXWARE (and Univel) tas() function from
s_lock.c to s_lock.h. The UnixWare compiler asm
construct is treated as a macro and needs to be in
the s_lock.h file. I also reworked the tas()
function to correct some errors in the code.
src/include/version.h.in
The use of the ## operator with quoted strings in
the VERSION macro caused problems with the UnixWare
C compiler. I removed the ## operators since they
were not needed in this case. The macro expands
into a sequence of quoted strings that will be
concatenated by any ANSI C compiler.
src/config.guess
This script was modified to recognize SCO UnixWare
7.
src/configure src/configure.in
The configure script was modified to recognize SCO
UnixWare 7.

Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.
It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.
This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )
This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.
Please review and apply,
Cheers,
Jeroen van Vianen
This patch will...
1. Remove the "-Wall" option from the ecpg/lib and ecpg/preproc Makefile.
2. Remove the addition of $(SRCDIR)/include and-or $(SRCDIR)/backend from
ecpg/lib, ecpg/preproc, libpq and utils Makefiles. Already in CFLAGS...
3. Set MK_NO_LORDER and RANLIB in Makefile.aix to avoid a couple of extra
steps taken care of by the 'ld' command anyways.
compiler define that should have been enabled, but was not due to
different naming conventions for Linux/Alpha. Attached is the patch he
sent me, that I have not had a chance to test yet.
From: Ryan Kirkpatrick <rkirkpat@nag.cs.colorado.edu>
The attached patches will allow postgreSQL to compile successfully on SCO
UNIXWARE 2.1.x. The patches fix the following problems:
1. Configure did not properly recognize the UNIXWARE system as needing the
univel port. It used the sys4 port.
2. Configure did not properly process the CC flag in the template file.
3. There was no working test and set locking implementation for the native
UNIXWARE compiler.
4. The test and set locking used for Intel X86 that was selected by defining
NEED_I386_TAS_ASM could fail in a multi-processor environment.
5. The makefiles for libpq and libpgtcl did not make a shared library for
the univel port.
