Great. I was afraid it might have been new with 10.2.

I agree. Thanks for the info.

BTW, is anyone interested in looking into whether we can be made to
build without using either flag? I tried it and saw a number of
failures that looked like they traced to incompatible macro expansion.
This wouldn't surprise me if PG were some halfbaked package that only
got tested with stock GCC, but considering that we actually build fine
on quite a range of compilers, it seems like Apple's cpp ought to work
too. It would be interesting to understand what the problem is.
