Yes, the decreasing of max_prepared_transaction helped (after some 
testing, I've found that the max_prepared_transactions=3 
max_connections=10  shared_buffers=20 was well enough to fit 1mb of 
shared memory)(unfortunatly max_connections=10 is not enough to run 
fully the make check :(, but I cannot raise more the max_connections 
parameter)

But I'm a bit surprised. Since, the initdb didn't worked from the very 
beginning it was not possible to change postgresql.conf, and I was forced 
to change the postgres sources initdb.c and guc.c, than recompile and 
check whether initdb works. Is that normal way to do it?

With Best regards, 
Sergey
