With some compilers such as Clang and ICC emulating GCC, using a
version string of the form "GCC $version" can be quite misleading.
Also, a great while ago, the version output from gcc --version started
including the string "gcc", so it is redundant to repeat that. In
order to support ancient GCC versions, we now prefix the result with
"GCC " only if the version output does not start with a letter.
These functions should take a pg_locale_t, not a collation OID, and should
call mbstowcs_l/wcstombs_l where available. Where those functions are not
available, temporarily select the correct locale with uselocale().
This change removes the bogus assumption that all locales selectable in
a given database have the same wide-character conversion method; in
particular, the collate.linux.utf8 regression test now passes with
LC_CTYPE=C, so long as the database encoding is UTF8.
I decided to move the char2wchar/wchar2char functions out of mbutils.c and
into pg_locale.c, because they work on wchar_t not pg_wchar_t and thus
don't really belong with the mbutils.c functions. Keeping them where they
were would have required importing pg_locale_t into pg_wchar.h somehow,
which did not seem like a good plan.
Mapped to NetBSD, the closest existing match. (Even though DragonFly
BSD is derived from FreeBSD, the shared library version numbering
matches NetBSD, and the rest is mostly the same among all BSD
variants.)

When testing the stderr produced by various thread-support flags, also
run a compilation in addition to a link, because clang warns on
certain flags when compiling but not when linking.
This adds collation support for columns and domains, a COLLATE clause
to override it per expression, and B-tree index support.

This can be used to build 64 bit Windows binaries, not only on 64 bit
Windows but on supported cross-compiling hosts including 32 bit Windows,
Cygwin, Darwin and Linux.
Synchronize pg_config.h.in with configure.in (someone must have
forgotten to run autoheader or autoreconf), and clean up some spurious
change in configure introduced by the last commit there.
This is still pretty rough - among other things, the documentation
needs work, and the messages need a visit from the style police -
but this gets the basic framework in place.

The mingw people don't appear to care about compatibility with non-GNU
versions of getopt, so force use of our own copy of getopt on Windows.
Also, ensure that we make use of optreset when using our own copy.
Per report from Andrew Dunstan. Back-patch to all versions supported
on Windows.
wait until it is set. Latches can be used to reliably wait until a signal
arrives, which is hard otherwise because signals don't interrupt select()
on some platforms, and even when they do, there's race conditions.
On Unix, latches use the so called self-pipe trick under the covers to
implement the sleep until the latch is set, without race conditions. On
Windows, Windows events are used.
Use the new latch abstraction to sleep in walsender, so that as soon as
a transaction finishes, walsender is woken up to immediately send the WAL
to the standby. This reduces the latency between master and standby, which
is good.
Preliminary work by Fujii Masao. The latch implementation is by me, with
helpful comments from many people.
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.
This variable is apparently only for Python internally. In newer releases
of Python this variable pulls in more and more libraries that users are
less likely to have, leading to potential build failures.
compilers, by applying a configure check to see if the compiler will accept
an unreferenced "static inline foo ..." function without warnings. It is
believed that such warnings are the only reason not to declare inlined
functions in headers, if the compiler understands "inline" at all.

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.
versions < 5.8. Also, if there's no Perl, emit a warning informing the
user that he won't be able to build from a CVS pull. This is exactly the
same treatment we give Bison and Perl, and for the same reasons.
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.
This is more in keeping with modern practice, and is a first step towards
porting to Win64 (which has sizeof(pointer) > sizeof(long)).

Behaves more or less unchanged compared to Python 2, but the new language
variant is called plpython3u. Documentation describing the naming scheme
is included.
shell construct to hide away the stderr output. Python 3.1 actually core
dumps on the current invocation (http://bugs.python.org/issue7111), but the
new version also has the more general advantage of saving the error message
in config.log for analysis.
append_history(), if libreadline is new enough to have those functions
(they seem to be present at least since 4.2; but libedit may not have them).
This gives significantly saner behavior when two or more sessions overlap in
their use of the history file; although having two sessions exit at just the
same time is still perilous to your history. The behavior of \s remains
unchanged, ie, overwrite whatever was there.
Per bug #5052 from Marek Wójtowicz.
perl_embed_ldflags setting. On OS X it seems that ExtUtils::Embed is
trying to force a universal binary to be built, but you need to specify
that a lot further upstream if you want Postgres built that way; the only
result of including -arch in perl_embed_ldflags is some warnings at the
plperl.so link step. Per my complaint and Jan Otto's suggestion.
with the not-so-deprecated DNSServiceRegister. This patch shouldn't change
any user-visible behavior, it just gets rid of a deprecation warning in
--with-bonjour builds. The new code will fail on OS X releases before 10.3,
but it seems unlikely that anyone will want to run Postgres 8.5 on 10.2.
