LRK - 2010/05/26 + +* On cobalt, an SGI Altix SMP ia64 system, Intel compiler version 10.1 (which + is the default on that system) does not work properly, and results in + failures during make check (in a static build) and make installcheck (during + a shared build). This appears to be a compiler optimization problem. + Reducing optimization by setting CFLAGS to -O1 or below resolves the issue. + Alternatively, using a newer version of the compiler (11.0) also works as + intended.
