# -----------------------------
# We selectively extract stuff from $Config{ccflags}.  We don't really need
# anything except -D switches, and other sorts of compiler switches can
# actively break things if Perl was compiled with a different compiler.
# Moreover, although Perl likes to put stuff like -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and
# -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 here, it would be fatal to try to compile PL/Perl
# to a different libc ABI than core Postgres uses.  The available information
# says that all the symbols that affect Perl's own ABI begin with letters,
# so it should be sufficient to adopt -D switches for symbols not beginning
# with underscore.  An exception is that we need to let through
# -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T if it's present.  (We probably could restrict that to
# only get through on Windows, but for the moment we let it through always.)
# For debugging purposes, let's have the configure output report the raw
# ccflags value as well as the set of flags we chose to adopt.
