Ok.

It seems that this directory provides fake header files to replace "unix"
system headers. Hence ISTM that no one wants this -I on any other
platform, so the possible inclusion must be added under some condition,
not just ifdef PGXS.

I'm wondering how it works within the source tree. I guess the
Makefile.port must/should take care of this issue, and maybe it is broken
under pgxs? I'll look into that, but I cannot test anything:-(
