Обсуждение: BUG #6759: configure script fails to detect xlc compiler version

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      6759
Logged by:          jez wain
Email address:      jez.wain@bull.net
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.4
Operating system:   AIX 7.1
Description:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20

The configure script (near line 3247) detects the compiler version with=20

--version,  -v, and -V

IBM's xlc compiler uses "-qversion" flag to display its version.

This produces:
bash-4.2$ xlc -qversion
IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V11.1 (5724-X13)
Version: 11.01.0000.0000

If you require additional information, there is a verbose switch,
-qversion=3Dverbose, which produces:=20

bash-4.2$ xlc -qversion=3Dverbose
IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V11.1 (5724-X13)
Version: 11.01.0000.0000
Driver Version: 11.01(C/C++) Level: 100304
C Front End Version: 11.00(C/C++) Level: 100301
High-Level Optimizer Version: 11.01(C/C++) and 13.01(Fortran) Level: 100301
Low-Level Optimizer Version: 11.01(C/C++) and 13.01(Fortran) Level: 100304
bash-4.2$=20



When faced with a flag it doesn't recognize, xlc prints the man page. Thus
the --version, -v, -V tests result in a particularly large config.log file

And is this an actual problem?

The code you are referring to is automatically generated by autoconf, so
there isn't much we can do about it anyway.
