[PATCH 1/1] Fix compilation on mac with Xcode >= 11.4. - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

It would appear weak symbol linking is not handled properly without
'isysroot' parameter passed to linker.

Fixes:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "___darwin_check_fd_set_overflow", referenced from:
      _ClientAuthentication in auth.o
      _pgstat_init in pgstat.o
      _ServerLoop in postmaster.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
