FIXADE is not defined on the normal HPUX build, so it's a non-issue as
far as I know.  AFAICT this file dates back to Berkeley days and exists
only to work around HP compiler bugs that existed about ten years ago.
We don't support HPUX <= 9.01 anymore anyway; there are plenty of other
reasons not to.

I have been planning for some time to nuke fixade.h, but haven't got
round to it.  Be my guest (and don't forget to zap the reference to it
in src/backend/Makefile's install stuff too.  AFAICT we don't need to
make an installed include/port subdirectory at all anymore...)

BTW, there are a couple of other templates that define NOFIXADE, which
seems to be something completely different; don't mistake it as being
the inverse of FIXADE.
