remaining shift/reduce conflict. But the very same conflict is in gram.y, so
I don't dig into it very much now.

Anyway, I just saw that there were minor changes made to ecpg by others. Now
I like that but I would prefer if I was told about that. Otherwise my
version numbering and Changelog maintaining might break. Or simply change
these too. :-)

Also I had to add #include <errno.h> to  backend/libpq/pqcomprim.c to be
able to compile postgresql.

Patch is attached. Since my resubscription process is still not finished
yet, I still send them here.

	gram.c updated
	scan.c updated
	ecpg/Makefile added LDFLAGS
	configure requires sfio for those systems with it installed...

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

handles all transaction commands and the exec sql include command.

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.

+       - allow 'go to' in whenever statement as well as 'goto'

Ok. I have decided to use:

#if defined(sun) && if defined(sparc) && !defined(__svr4)

instead of defined(sunos4).  interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h and
include/c.h have been modified(see included patches).

Another porblems I have found are:

o SunOS lacks strtoul(). to fix this I stole strtoul.c from FreeBSD
and place it under backend/port. necessary modifications have been
also made to backend/port/Makefile.in, include/config.h.in and
configure.in (see included patches).

pull their data/info from Makefile.global

Makefile, as it isn't appropriate for GNUmake

Well this is not really a patch. But I mananged to get Linus' old Postgres95
precompiler to compile and work with PostgreSQL. The next step would be to
collect bug/missing feature reports and to put it into the distribution so
that it is made with the standard make procedure.

Warning! So far it is not tested much and it does not install correctly. But
I was able to create a small binary with it.
