You want to risk destabilizing Postgres by backpatching something this
complex so the regression tests can be run on all stable branches? I
think you are overestimating our desire to take on risk.
Also, in my patch, the parentheses here:
#if defined(__linux__) && (! defined(__GLIBC__) && ! defined(__UCLIBC__))
are unnecessary so they should be removed:
#if defined(__linux__) && ! defined(__GLIBC__) && ! defined(__UCLIBC__)
I am only willing to apply my patch, and only to master. Other
committers might be more willing.
