Almost ten years ago, commit e48322a6d6cfce1ec52ab303441df329ddbc04d1 broke the logic in ACX_PTHREAD by looping through all the possible flags rather than stopping with the first one that would work. This meant that $acx_pthread_ok was no longer meaningful after the loop; it would usually be "no", whether or not we'd found working thread flags. The reason nobody noticed is that Postgres doesn't actually use any of the symbols set up by the code after the loop. Rather than complicate things some more to make it work as designed, let's just remove all that dead code, and thereby save a few cycles in each configure run.
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
