Not everyone uses gcc.  One would think that this sort of thing would be
sufficiently unportable to have been weeded out of PG long ago, irrespective
of what gcc does or doesn't do.

While I didn't try searching through the whole source tree, a quick grep
through psql didn't find any instances of such coding...
