We haven't seen any agreement emerge as to what is causing AIX 5.3 ML3
...
to fail to successfully build the release candidates.
However, a patch has emerged (thanks, Seneca!) that does allow it to
work, and which I'd expect to be portable (better still!).
We are still actively pursuing why it breaks, but supposing that still
remains outstanding, at least the following would allow AIX users to
better survive a build...

Avoid referring to a specific version of the SQL standard except where
...
necessary, and be careful to refer to the right version where it is
useful to do so. This partially reverts an ill-considered search and
replace from a few months ago.

> o Add a GUC variable to allow output of interval values in ISO8601

> o Improve timestamptz subtraction to be DST-aware
>
> Currently, subtracting one date from another that crosses a
> daylight savings time adjustment can return '1 day 1 hour', but
> adding that back to the first date returns a time one hour in
> the future. This is caused by the adjustment of '25 hours' to
> '1 day 1 hour', and '1 day' is the same time the next day, even
> if daylight savings adjustments are involved.
>
> o Fix interval display to support values exceeding 2^31 hours
> o Add overflow checking to timestamp and interval arithmetic

I have applied the following patch to document PQinitSSL() and

PQregisterThreadLock().
I also remove the crypt() mention in the libpq threading section and
added a single sentence in the client-auth manual page under crypt().
Crypt authentication is so old now that a separate paragraph about it
seemed unwise.
I also added a comment about our use of locking around pqGetpwuid().
