Currently, building on any platform that hasn't got getrusage()
requires manual editing of src/backend/port/getrusage.c, because its substitute version of getrusage is #if'd out. There is no good reason for that, because configure won't even include the file into the Makefile unless the platform hasn't got getrusage. Furthermore, we only have one working substitute version of getrusage --- the alleged HPUX syscall-based code doesn't work. (It causes a coredump because the syscall returns a struct rusage that's much larger than the stub struct defined in src/include/rusagestub.h.) The times()-based emulation works fine on HPUX, however. I propose, therefore, that getrusage.c should just unconditionally compile the times-based version, and rely on configure to include the file only if needed. This will be one less manual configuration step on all platforms that need this code. Patch attached. Tom Lane.
