The problem with the current settings is that the linker is called
directly. This is wrong, it should always be called through the
compiler
driver (the only exception is `ld -r'). This will make sure that the
necessary libraries like libgcc are linked in.
But there is still a different problem with the setting of LDFLAGS_ODBC.
The psqlodbc module defines the functions _init and _fini which are
reserved for the shared library initialisation. These should be changed
to constructor functions. Then LDFLAGS_ODBC can be changed to be just
`-lm'. Btw, why does it use -Bsymbolic?
Backend makefile cleanup. make maintainer-clean is now completely
functional.
Handle include file installation in src/include/Makefile
genbki.sh improvements: Don't substitute anything by config.status,
instead pass in AWK and CPP through environment. Change calling
convention to support named output files, so we get to see error
messages on stderr.
Rename bootstrap template files and install them into PREFIX/share.

in initdb.

Special handling of TOAST relations during VACUUM. TOAST relations

attached to this mail is a patch from a colleague that makes
PostgreSQL-7.0.2 run on Linux for the Intel-IA64 architecture. It also
fixes a bug in the configure scripts that caused configure to fail on
the fcntl(F_SETLK) test.
This fix triggered a bug in the fcntl(F_SETLK) code of the Linux
kernel when used on unix domain sockets resulting in postmaster to
segfault immediately after startup. There is a fix available and
included in the kernel that will be on SuSE Linux 7.0, but kernels <=
2.2.16 still have this bug.

Make toast-table creation and deletion work somewhat reliably.
Don't go through pg_exec_query_dest(), but directly to the execution
routines. Also, extend parameter lists so that there's no need to
change the global setting of allowSystemTableMods, a hack that was
certain to cause trouble in the event of any error.
Move PGPORT envar handling to ResetAllOptions(). Improve long options
parsing to not clobber the optarg string -- so that we can bring
SetOptsFile() up to speed.
Have pg_dumpall write CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP commands instead of raw
COPYs of pg_shadow and pg_group.
It also turns out that pg_dumpall was all but broken for multiple servers
running at non-standard port numbers. You might get the users and groups
from one server and the databases from another. Fixed that.
A little user interface and code cleanup along with that. This also takes
care of the portability bug discussed in "[BUGS] pg_dumpall" in March 2000.

Use a private memory context to store rule information in each relcache
entry that has rules. This allows us to release the rule parsetrees
on relcache flush without needing a working freeObject() routine.
Formerly, the rule trees were leaked permanently at relcache flush.
Also, clean up handling of rule creation and deletion --- there was
not sufficient locking of the relation being modified, and there was
no reliable notification of other backends that a relcache reload
was needed. Also, clean up relcache.c code so that scans of system
tables needed to load a relcache entry are done in the caller's
memory context, not in CacheMemoryContext. This prevents any
un-pfreed memory from those scans from becoming a permanent memory
leak.

Remove freefuncs.c, which hasn't been used in a long time and is not
worth the effort to continue to maintain. Since freeObject() is not
capable of coping with cases like multiple links to a node, it's
unlikely that it ever will be useful again. We now have memory
context management that offers a faster and more reliable way of
getting rid of arbitrary node trees (at the cost of having to know
in advance of building the tree that you'll want to get rid of it).

First phase of memory management rewrite (see backend/utils/mmgr/README
