My guess is that sslinfo needs it because of the use of the SSL
libraries. I would guess any of the other /contrib modules would need
similar changes. Can you do a 'make' at the top of the contrib tree and
see what fails?

I just added $(LIBS) to sslinfo's Makefile to fix its build failure on
Darwin. (I see no reason why libpq should be involved there, though.)
I'm unclear on why AIX would need more than Darwin does to get dblink
to build.

In the case of dblink/Makefile, it started as

SHLIB_LINK = $(libpq)

which need to be augmented to:

SHLIB_LINK = $(libpq) $(LIBS)

When I saw the same errors pop up with sslinfo, there was no
SHLIB_LINK definition, so went to:

SHLIB_LINK = $(libpq) $(LIBS)

It's entirely possible that
SHLIB_LINK = $(LIBS)
is sufficient.

Yeah, i don't had the time to get to it the last days and to fix all
outstanding issues,
sorry for that. Regarding to the complexity of all required work that needs
to be done, 8.3
is the better choice, indeed.

Do we have a patch for that today?

This host seems to be offline. What about using the wiki?

It is suffering from a DNS problem.

Wiki has the same problem, too.

The problem is with the postgresql.org DNS servers. Something weird is
afoot around the hub.org nameservers, from what I can tell. Servers seem
to be dropping off one by one as TTLs expire.

Apparently Marc is back; he recently had a question about reordering
IP addresses on pgsql.sql, which suggests some sort of DNS maintenance
being up.

Hopefully this is a matter of things getting a little worse before
they get more comprehensively fixed. I hope...

We could have a patch for the first one today --- I was thinking about
it last night and intending to code it today. The second one is merely
a matter of removing an error check that exists now; the question really
is do people want that behavior. (I asked that on the jdbc list and got
zero response, so actually I was thinking that it was a dead issue; but
as long as it's on the open-items list we ought to discuss it.)
