Alvaro Herrera 105f3ef492 Disable -faggressive-loop-optimizations in gcc 4.8+ for pre-9.2 branches.
With this optimization flag enabled, recent versions of gcc can generate
incorrect code that assumes variable-length arrays (such as oidvector)
are actually fixed-length because they're embedded in some larger struct.
The known instance of this problem was fixed in 9.2 and up by commit
8137f2c323 and followon work, which hides
actually-variable-length catalog fields from the compiler altogether.
And we plan to gradually convert variable-length fields to official
"flexible array member" notation over time, which should prevent this type
of bug from reappearing as gcc gets smarter.  We're not going to try to
back-port those changes into older branches, though, so apply this
band-aid instead.

This is a backpatch of commit 649839dd9 to unsupported branches
REL8_2_STABLE and REL8_3_STABLE, so that they work with newer toolsets.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more
common listed below:

C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/
JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org
ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org
Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/
PHP - http://www.php.net
Python - http://www.initd.org/
Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/

Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing
parties.

PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available,
a short but not complete list is below:

PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp
PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Java - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php
PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
