I don't know if anyone has a makefile for it, but the following seems to work for me: pgsql/src/backend$ cc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -g -L../../src/port -Wl,-rpath,'/home/peter/devel/pg83/pg-install/lib' -Wl,-E $(find -name "*.o" | grep -v SUBSYS | grep -v conversion_procs) ../../src/timezone/SUBSYS.o ../../src/port/libpgport_srv.a -lxslt -lxml2 -lpam -lssl -lcrypto -lgssapi_krb5 -lcrypt -ldl -lm -lldap -o postgres If you find that the optimizations you are hoping for are useful, I'm sure we could put an option of that sort somewhere in the makefiles. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
