Subject: Hack to work around broken linker on older NetBSD/OpenBSD/Irix assumed
X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/static/gitweb.js?a=commitdiff_plain;h=440bdeb0535d13145f4069c78f68d71cd85eaf2f;p=users%2Fbernd%2Fpostgres.git

Hack to work around broken linker on older NetBSD/OpenBSD/Irix assumed
that readline must depend on libcurses, but it seems more recent ones
use libtermcap instead.  Allow that case.
