I can't put it in the buildfarm ;-) but I have access to real s390 hardware inside Red Hat. I'll try to run a test build and see whether the regression tests pass. I would expect that s390 floating point is not even remotely IEEE-compliant; they'd have stuck with the S/360 behavior which predates the IEEE spec by probably 20 years. Whether it's worth generating variant regression files for this arch, I don't know. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
