Bug reference: 1679

PostgreSQL version: 7.3.10 to 8.0.3
Operating system: HP UX B.11.11
Description: Error while compiling (linking), finite, Unsatisfied
symbols
Details:

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:

I have a work around:
I put code
#undef HAVE_FINITE
to
.../src/backend/utils/adt/float.c
then it can link for each version. 7.3.10 to 8.0.3

note : I did not try prior versions.
