posix_fadvise and other file-related functions can depend on _LARGEFILE_SOURCE
and/or _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Per report from Robert Treat.
Back-patch to 8.4. This has been wrong all along, but we weren't really using
posix_fadvise in anger before, and AC_FUNC_FSEEKO seems to mask the issue well
enough for that function.
provide a working 64-bit integer datatype. As recently noted, we've been
broken on such platforms since early in the 8.4 development cycle. Since
it took nearly two years for anyone to even notice, it seems that the
rationale for continuing to support such platforms has reached the point
of non-existence. Rather than thrashing around to try to make it work
again, we'll just admit up front that this no longer works.
Back-patch to 8.4 since that branch is also broken.
We should go around to remove INT64_IS_BUSTED support, but just in HEAD,
so that seems like material for a separate commit.
the system's getopt_long(). The previous coding was the result of a sloppy
discussion that failed to draw this distinction. The result was that PG
programs don't handle options as users of that platform expect. Per
gripe from Chuck McDevitt.
Although this is a pre-existing bug, I'm not backpatching since I think we
could do with a bit of beta testing before concluding this is really OK.
on AIX with a non-gcc compiler. The previous coding would do this only if
CC was exactly "xlc"; which is a bad idea, as demonstrated by trouble report
from Mihai Criveti.
Also, if linked against other versions than the default MSVCRT library
(for example the MSVC build which links against MSVCRT80), also update
the cache in the default MSVCRT at the same time.
This should fix the issues with setting LC_MESSAGES on the MSVC build.
Original patch from Hiroshi Inoue and Hiroshi Saito, much rewritten
by me.
we can get some buildfarm feedback about whether that function is still
problematic. (Note that the planned async-preread patch will not really
prove anything one way or the other in buildfarm testing, since it will
be inactive with default GUC settings.)
the * character at the beginning of a pattern, and it does not match
subdomains.
Since this means we no longer need fnmatch, remove the imported implementation
from port, along with the autoconf check for it.
This basically takes some build system code that was previously labeled
"Solaris" and ties it to the compiler rather than the operating system.

vintage Linux is even more broken than we realized: a link to libreadline
will succeed, and fail only at runtime. It seems that an AC_TRY_RUN test
is the only reliable way to check whether this is really safe. Per report
from Tatsuo.
shared libraries. We've tried this before and had problems with libreadline
not linking properly on some platforms, but that seems to be a libreadline
bug that may have been fixed by now. In any case, it's early enough in the
8.4 devel cycle that we can afford to have some transient breakage while
we work out any portability problems.
On Darwin, we try -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs, which seems to be the equivalent
incantation there.
any hardcoding of those options. Along the way, reorder the expression used to
calculate RELSEG_SIZE to make it slightly clearer. For now wal_segsize is only
allowed to have a value of 1 on Windows - we can relax that when we get full
large file support in the backend.
let XLOG_BLCKSZ and XLOG_SEG_SIZE be set via configure. Per a proposal by
Mark Wong, though I thought it better to call the switches after "wal" rather
than "xlog".
support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c. Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to
segmenting with a suitably large segment size. So instead provide a
configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes.
While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

which is a global variable not a function, and so the probe failed on machines
where the linker makes a distinction (cf. Red Hat bug #444317). Probe for
an actual function instead.
