Yeah, we've seen this before. What it boils down to is that kernels
prior to 2.6.x don't have posix_fadvise but older versions of glibc
think they do. Some googling says that was fixed in glibc 2.3.5-3,
so probably updating to that or later would be the simplest solution.
(It also seems the bug is specific to 64-bit builds, but I doubt
you want to fall back to a 32-bit build of Postgres.)
