The method we've traditionally used, of redeclaring strerror_r() to see if the compiler complains of inconsistent declarations, turns out not to work reliably because some compilers only report a warning, not an error. Amazingly, this has gone undetected for years, even though it certainly breaks our detection of whether strerror_r succeeded. Let's instead test whether the compiler will take the result of strerror_r() as a switch() argument. It's possible this won't work universally either, but it's the best idea I could come up with on the spur of the moment. We should probably back-patch this once the dust settles, but first let's see what the buildfarm thinks of it. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/10877.1537993279@sss.pgh.pa.us
