Hi

I'm trying to compile PostgreSQL 8.0.3 on a Sun Solaris 10 box, dual
opteron and using the sun studio cc compiler. I get the following error;

cc -Xa -fast -xarch=amd64 -I../../../../src/include -fast -
xarch=amd64 -c -o clog.o clog.c

"../../../../src/include/storage/s_lock.h", line 701: #error:
PostgreSQL does not have native spinlock support on this platform.
To continue the compilation, rerun configure using --disable-
spinlocks. However, performance will be poor. Please report this to
pgsql-bugs (AT) postgresql (DOT) org.

then I add --disable-spinlocks to the configuration and I get the
following error;

1st attempt

2nd attempt
../configure --prefix=/opt/postgresql --without-readline --disable-

any ideas?
