Hm. In a new tree it doesn't work with HEAD. But it did previously survive a
gmake clean && gmake world-bin. I don't see why the configure cache or
existing buildtree should play a role here, given a make clean?
Either way, the symbol visibility patch from
https://postgr.es/m/20220901211935.k6v7mt3mjhnfbhnr%40awork3.anarazel.de
repairs the build, even with a new build tree.
Looking at that patch I don't like this bit overly much:
+if test -n "${CFLAGS_SL_MODULE}"; then
+ AC_DEFINE([HAVE_VISIBILITY_ATTRIBUTE], 1,
+ [Define to 1 if your compiler knows the visibility("hidden") attribute.])
+fi
Seems too fragile, somebody could test for another attribute to add to
CFLAGS_SL_MODULE and it'd break. I'm inclined to just set a
pgac_have_visibility_attr in the two branches and set it from
pgac_cv_prog_CC_cflags__fvisibility_hidden
pgac_cv_prog_CC_cflags__qvisibility_hidden
?
It seem worth applying the -qvisibility patch and seeing whether that fixes
the buildfarm? I guess alternatively we could revert the mkldexport patch,
apply the -qvisibility patch and then apply the mkldexport thing again
afterwards?
