      Attached is a patch with some fixes that (I think that) should go into · 03f16488

      6.4.1. Here is the list:
      
      - The type int8 now works. In fact, the bug(s) were in
      src/backend/port/snprintf.c, so int8 is probably broken in every platform
      that hasn't a native snprintf/vsnprintf. The type itself worked as
      expected, only the output was wrong. Anyway, this patch should be checked
      in other platforms.
      
      - The regression tests for int2 and int4, which were broken due to
      differences in the error messages, are fixed.
      
      - The regression test for float8, which was broken in the reference
      platform, is also fixed. I don't know if the new file (float8-OSF1.out)
      will work on other platforms, but it might be worth to try it.
      
      - Two new template files are provided (alpha_cc, which includes
      optimization, and alpha_gcc), and src/templates/.similar is updated
      accordingly. src/templates/alpha should be removed from the distribution.
      *IMPORTANT NOTE*: I don't know if you can use gcc to compile postgres;
      I've written the alpha_gcc file because alpha_cc has some flags that are
      specific to DEC C.
      
      - There is a (very basic) Digital Unix specific FAQ in
      doc/FAQ_DigitalUnix.
