[unixODBC-dev] Status of BUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE?

[Tom Lane]

I'm wondering how sane it is to consider turning on
BUILD_REAL_64_BIT_MODE in a 64-bit Linux distribution (I'm responsible
for Red Hat's packaging of unixODBC, if you're wondering).  The comments
in sqltypes.h about it are pretty discouraging, but maybe that's obsolete
information now?

I trolled the archives a bit and found
http://mailman.unixodbc.org/pipermail/unixodbc-dev/2008-January/001139.html
which suggests that Debian is enabling it but found several additional
fixes necessary.  Comments on the correctness/completeness of that
patch would be especially useful.
