I'm just checking them all cos I'm a bit of a FreeBSD & PostgreSQL fanatic
and I want FBSD to be a good platform for pgsql. Maybe we could add to the
regression test database fields for 'result of running "gmake all" in
contrib/' ? Unfortunately this process stops at the first error. Maybe it
would be nice if it could continue on and give a report of the failures?
