Dirk Tilger that it is possible for icc to not do that.

Minor rearrangements to make a few tests in a more logical order.

library.  New configure option --with-ossp-uuid to activate.

If this breaks things due to missing libxslt, then I'll have to
revert it, but let's see if it breaks the buildfarm.

Workarounds in case libxslt is missing include:
. don't configure with libxml, or
. don't build contrib modules from the contrib Makefile (use the individual module Makefiles instead), or
. change the xml2 Makefile

right, there seems precious little reason to have a pile of hand-maintained
endianness definitions in src/include/port/*.h.  Get rid of those, and make
the couple of places that used them depend on WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead.

This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple
(without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields.  While all available
regression tests pass, I'm not totally sure that we've fixed every nook and
cranny, especially in contrib.

 ecpglib supports it.
Change configure (patch from Bruce) and msvc build system to no longer require
 pthreads on win32, since all parts of postgresql can be thread-safe using the
 native platform functions.

Per report from Jim Rosenberg.  This possibly should get back-patched,
but I'm a bit suspicious of it still because of the lack of prior reports.

standard functions like pow() are not special-cased by the compiler.
Per report from Andreas Lange that build fails on Solaris cc compiler
with -fast.  Even though we don't consider that a supported option,
I'm worried that similar issues will arise with other compilers.

code relies on the checking macro actually being called at the end, or the
automatic undiversion will produce garbage.  These sort of implicit
side-effects undermine the modularity of the macros and happen to break the
ODBC driver which makes use of them.

Also put the warnings at the very end of configure, so there is an even
better chance of seeing them.
