We are not seeing that behavior; at least for 8.3.5 tarball. configure
succeeds and with my patch, libpq builds and runs just fine.

We still find this old fart in the field, not a couple of them but quite

Nobody had to, a patch was tested and provided by a brilliant engineer ;-)
I'm actually quite indifferent to this. I just think the configure
should fail with "unsupported option for platform" error, which Tom says
it should be doing, or something like my patch be applied.
