Instructive indeed, but it has no suggestion for how to fix this? It is not 
quite true that this code has lived over two releas cycles without 
complaints, because there have been som whining about it. In the case of 
FreeBSD specifically, I doubt ppl will use anything but gcc, so we would 
probably not need the sed line that removes ccdlflags, we could just opt it 
out with a port's patch, I guess?

Something like 
<http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-11/msg00181.php> would 
probably work well for the FreeBSD port? Correct me I'm wrong.
