Makefile.global is created by the configure step. This has not changed
since 8.1. If you want to create a file that matches somebody else's
build, examine pg_config output to see what configure options they used,
and duplicate that. It would also be wise to check the
src/include/pg_config.h result from configure to ensure that it matches
their build (hopefully pg_config.h is included in what they distributed).
