thread-safety flag on Solaris 10

[Dinesh Bhandary]

Hello -

We are installing Postgresql-9.1.3 from source against solaris 10, gcc
3.4.6 and it is fails when I enable thread-safety flag.
It install fine if I disable thread-safety flag. One of the options I am
looking into is upgrading gcc. Upgrading Solaris is not an option.
But before I do that, I would like to know the consequences of
installing pg without thread-safety. We do not use Slony, which I have
heard can break if I disabled thread-safety flag.
We use pgadmin, Java/jdbc to access postgres.

Here is the machine specs:

# uname -X
System = SunOS
Node = sierra-db.toledolibrary.org
Release = 5.10
KernelID = Generic_147440-23
Machine = sun4v
BusType = <unknown>
Serial = <unknown>
Users = <unknown>
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 128

gcc version = 3.4.6
Thread model = posix


Please let me know.

Thanks.
Dinesh

Odd that failed. It would be good to go through the config.log and find
out why the thread testing failed. If you don't need client-level
threads, you should be fine.
