What's new feature ?

PGXS break when 19e231b was commited, the patch around this special
submake is trying to bugfix that.
See http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/201305281410.32535.cedric@2ndquadrant.com

There are also reports like this one (and thread):
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CABRT9RCJ6RvgMXbyebCgYMwBwiOBKO_W6zvwrzn75_f+USpQ5g@mail.gmail.com

where you can read that I am not 'the' only guy who want to have this
commited. And believeing this is worth a backpatch as it stands for a
bugfix.

Here also the problem is stated as something to fix.

That's being said, you are correct about the problem you found and it's
good to be able to release new version without a bug for OSX.
I'm just sad you didn't get time to voice a bit before Andrew spent too
much time on that.
