Back-patch commit dddfc4cb2, which broke LDFLAGS and related Makefile variables into two parts, one for within-build-tree library references and one for external libraries, to ensure that the order of -L flags has all of the former before all of the latter. This turns out to fix a problem recently noted on buildfarm member peripatus, that we attempted to incorporate code from libpgport.a into a shared library. That will fail on platforms that are sticky about putting non-PIC code into shared libraries. (It's quite surprising we hadn't seen such failures before, since the code in question has been like that for a long time.) I think that peripatus' problem could have been fixed with just a subset of this patch; but since the previous issue of accidentally linking to the wrong copy of a Postgres shlib seems likely to bite people in the field, let's just back-patch the whole change. Now that commit dddfc4cb2 has survived some beta testing, I'm less afraid to back-patch it than I was at the time. This also fixes undesired inclusion of "-DFRONTEND" in pg_config's CPPFLAGS output (in 9.6 and up) and undesired inclusion of "-L../../src/common" in its LDFLAGS output (in all supported branches). Back-patch to v10 and older branches; this is already in v11. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20180704234304.bq2dxispefl65odz@ler-imac.local

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: https://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.
