Hi, I spend some time trying to figure out why PostgreSQL builds on S390-Linux, but Postgres-XC doesn't. Well at least this holds for the Debian packages. So far I haven't figured it out. However, it appears to me that the build should fail for both. I'm not an S390 expert by any means, but I was told that S390 requires -fPIC and the build failure in the Debian package of XC came from a stray -fpic that was used together with -fPIC. But alas the PostgreSQL build has both as well.
Anyway, I changed src/makefiles/Makefile.linux to include ifeq "$(findstring s390,$(host_cpu))" "s390" CFLAGS_SL = -fPIC else before setting CFLAGS_SL = -fpic et voila XC builds just fine on S390. So I wonder shouldn't we use -fPIC instead of -fpic for S390 in general?
