That is a very bad idea from a security standpoint, which is why
PostgreSQL doesn't allow it.  You would have to modify the source
code and make your own build to do it; but that seems like a lot of
trouble to go through just to make your system less secure.

Are you having some problem with the recommended installation
procedure?

I believe there is documentation on this matter here:

If you can't see the bright side of things, polish the dark side...

You can't.
