Please forget all I said about gcc and AIX in my previous mail.
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

WHERE in a place where it can be part of a nestloop inner indexqual.
As the code stood, it put the same physical sub-Plan node into both
indxqual and indxqualorig of the IndexScan plan node.  That confused
later processing in the optimizer (which expected that tracing the
subPlan list would visit each subplan node exactly once), and would
probably have blown up in the executor if the planner hadn't choked first.
Fix by making the 'fixed' indexqual be a complete deep copy of the
original indexqual, rather than trying to share nodes below the topmost
operator node.  This had further ramifications though, because we were
making the aforesaid list of sub-Plan nodes during SS_process_sublinks

the copy of the sub-Plan didn't show up in that list.  Fix by rearranging
logic so that the sub-Plan list is built by the final set_plan_references
pass, not in SS_process_sublinks.  This may sound like a mess, but it's
actually a good deal cleaner now than it was before, because we are no
