That works for me. The main issue in my mind is not to define it on
platforms that aren't glibc-based, but linux.h should be safe.
Any objections out there?
I see another potential problem BTW: pg_config.h has
#ifndef HAVE_INET_ATON
# include <sys/types.h>
# include <netinet/in.h>
# include <arpa/inet.h>
extern int inet_aton(const char *cp, struct in_addr * addr);
#endif
which it does *before* pulling in the port-specific config file.
While this won't break Linux since it has inet_aton(), I could see
problems arising on platforms without. I am inclined to move all
the substitute "extern" declarations in pg_config.h to the bottom
of the file.
