Doesn't seem like a good idea to me to add platform-specific options with unspecified effects to platform-independent upstream sources. To the extent that this option finds anything useful (which in my experience is a negligibly small percentage anyway), it's the responsibility of the packagers (including me) to report it. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
