1.8.7.4 64-bit build sometimes crashes
On Solaris 7 and older, the 64-bit version of libc has a buggy
vsnprintf routine, which leads to erratic
core dumps in PostgreSQL. The simplest known workaround is to
force PostgreSQL to use its own version of vsnprintf rather than
the library copy. To do this, after you
run configure edit a file produced by
configure:
In ‘src/Makefile.global’, change the line
LIBOBJS =
to read
LIBOBJS = snprintf.o
(There might be other files already listed in this variable. Order does not matter.) Then build as usual.
