>Description:
PostgreSQL will not compile under this platform and emits the following error:

gmake[3]: *** [s_lock.o] Error 1

I'm guessing that some assembly wizard has to go in and re-write one of the inlined routines to support this
CPU. I'm not sure if it's a mips2 or not but I suspect it is not. Rather than patching the existing one
they may want to look into providing a separate one so as not to hurt the MIPS2 port.

>How-To-Repeat:
compile PostgreSQL from ports on the affected machine. It's slow as hell (took almost 2 hours to get to this point)
but if someone really needs I do have a machine they can use.

>Fix:
Actual correction... I don't know any MIPS asm to suggest the solution :(
