Hi,

I've tested RC4 on Linux on the PlayStation 2 again
(compare
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-08/msg01339.php)

With --disable-spinlocks everything but the two floating point tests
succeeds (regression output and diffs attached).

The Playstation 2 hardware manuals confirm that the FPU has
no support for NaN and +/-Inf. That explains the regression diffs.
(EE Core User's Manual Version 5, p. 153)

In summary one might conclude that PostgreSQL 8 works on Linux on the
Playstation 2 as far as the hardware supports it.

Kind regards,
Chris.
