Yes, that's what I removed. > The guc run-time check is checking for known-buggy versions of glibc using > sysconf to check what version of glibc you have. Right - that check is still in my updated patch. I think the confusion may stem from the fact that Tom and I used the word "runtime" to refer to the ac_run_check thing, because it is checking something about the runtime environment (namely, whether posix_fadvise works or not) at configure-time. In any event, it seems as though we are all on the same page. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
