I don't have a 7.0.2-3.

It has been fixed in a subsequent version.  Please upgrade your RPM
installation to the latest rpm-3.0.x from Mandrake, then pull
postgresql-7.0.2-19.src.rpm from rawhide.  You will need to upgrade RPM
because that src.rpm is in v4 format.  Yes: 7.0.2-_19_. Trond has been
busy :-).

I am working on back porting, amongst other issues.

There has been discussion about _why_ this is happening.  Opinion seems
to be that 'make install' should be copying the port-specific file to
os.h instead of symlinking.  What would your opinion be?

Subsequent versions (which haven't yet been uploaded to postgresql.org
yet due to a number of issues) simply include linux.h in %files for
-devel.

I will have a backport to RH 6.2 of -19 done by the end of this week
(being paid to do it, so I had better do it!), and will upload that.

Oh, Thomas, since the permissions on the PPC subdir in binary are such
that I can't delete the PPC RPMS, can you delete them and post a README
that there are serious problems with the LinuxPPC binary build currently
posted on PostgreSQL.org?  We need to get them rebuilt with -O2 or less.
