Re: BUG #18082: coredump during initdb

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, yes the compiler is that old too.
In our company we have to support very old operating systems, the reason
why we compile on that OS.

I made some research to found what is the minimum linux kernel, libc,
requirements without any success on postgresql.org
I found a general info on
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/supported-platforms.html which says
"PostgreSQL can be expected to work on these operating systems: Linux (all
recent distributions)" without any more details.

Regards
