In cases where Xcode is newer than the underlying macOS version, asking xcodebuild for the SDK path will produce a pointer to the SDK shipped with Xcode, which may end up building code that does not work on the underlying macOS version. It appears that in such cases, xcodebuild's answer also fails to match the default behavior of Apple's compiler: assuming one has installed Xcode's "command line tools", there will be an SDK for the OS's own version in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools, and the compiler will default to using that. This is all pretty poorly documented, but experimentation suggests that "xcrun --show-sdk-path" gives the sysroot path that the compiler is actually using, at least in some cases. Hence, try that first, but revert to xcodebuild if xcrun fails (in very old Xcode, it is missing or lacks the --show-sdk-path switch). Also, "xcrun --show-sdk-path" may give a path that is valid but lacks any OS version identifier. We don't really want that, since most of the motivation for wiring -isysroot into the build flags at all is to ensure that all parts of a PG installation are built against the same SDK, even when considering extensions built later and/or on a different machine. Insist on finding "N.N" in the directory name before accepting the result. (Adding "--sdk macosx" to the xcrun call seems to produce the same answer as xcodebuild, but usually more quickly because it's cached, so we also try that as a fallback.) The core reason why we don't want to use Xcode's default SDK in cases like this is that Apple's technology for introducing new syscalls does not play nice with Autoconf: for example, configure will think that preadv/pwritev exist when using a Big Sur SDK, even when building on an older macOS version where they don't exist. It'd be nice to have a better solution to that problem, but this patch doesn't attempt to fix that. Per report from Sergey Shinderuk. Back-patch to all supported versions.

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: 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. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
