There's also a few cases in the LLVM using code, I'll clean that up momentarily.

I found one more oddity with the current committed state:
/home/andres/src/postgresql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c: In function ‘pqsecure_raw_write’:
/home/andres/src/postgresql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c:91:6: warning: this statement may fall through
[-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]
if (cond) \
^
/home/andres/src/postgresql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c:362:5: note: in expansion of macro ‘REMEMBER_EPIPE’
REMEMBER_EPIPE(spinfo, true);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/home/andres/src/postgresql/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c:366:4: note: here
case ECONNRESET:
^~~~
It seems that gcc gets confused by the #ifdef ECONNRESET. Somehow adding
a newline before cures it. But the nicer fix seems to be to move the
FALL THRU into the ifdef, which even seems more correct when nitpicking
in god mode.
Unless you've a better idea I'll fix that together with the LLVM stuff.
