I would be sad about this. It seems likely there are platforms where it's important. But I'm not really about to spend the effort to fix it up myself and I agree it wouldn't be worth hacking the source to get it to work. I'm a bit puzzled why the symbol conflicts occur only with static linking though -- it seems like static linking would give more opportunity to isolate symbols than dynamic linking, not less. Perhaps our static linking rules are broken? -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
