xlc provides "long long" unconditionally at C99-compatible language
levels, and this option provokes a warning.  The warning interferes with
"configure" tests that fail in response to any warning.  Notably, before
commit 85a2a890, it interfered with the
test for -qnoansialias.  Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).

Postgres 9.2, and perhaps no existing users either.

Remove the following ports:

- dgux
- nextstep
- sunos4
- svr4
- ultrix4
- univel

These are obsolete and not worth rescuing.  In most cases, there is
circumstantial evidence that they wouldn't work anymore anyway.

since Apple shipped a compiler that needed this switch, and there's
increasing interest in using other compilers that won't accept the switch
at all.  Better to let anybody who still needs the switch inject it via
CPPFLAGS.  Per gripe from Neil Conway.

linking both executables and shared libraries, and we add on LDFLAGS_EX when
linking executables or LDFLAGS_SL when linking shared libraries.  This
provides a significantly cleaner way of dealing with link-time switches than
the former behavior.  Also, make sure that the various platform-specific
%.so: %.o rules incorporate LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL; most of them missed that
before.  (I did not add these variables for the platforms that invoke $(LD)
directly, however.  It's not clear if we can do that safely, since for the
most part we assume these variables use CC command-line syntax.)

Per gripe from Aaron Swenson and subsequent investigation.

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.

This basically takes some build system code that was previously labeled
"Solaris" and ties it to the compiler rather than the operating system.

and up), per Chris Marcellino.  This avoids consuming O(N^2) file
descriptors to support N backends.  Tests suggest it's about a wash for
small installations, but large ones would have a problem.

it ought to know that you need -DLINUX_PROFILE on Linux.

--enable-debug is used, to avoid complaints about debugging and
optimization being mutually exclusive. Patch from Stefan Kaltenbrunner.

MemSet on AIX by setting MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT to zero.

Add optimization to skip MemSet tests in MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT == 0 case and
just call memset() directly.

for all ports.  It can't hurt if they are not supported, but it makes
our job easier for porting.

Should fix Darwin compile and other platforms without mucking with the
thread detection code.
