Re: [HACKERS] PostgreSQL 6.5.1: libpq++ libraries on IRIX 6.5

That's a good point (about interfering with gcc/g++). But I'm still
a bit hesitant about changing the default AR and LD for all other
libraries (although in theory it shouldn't do any harm). And if we
changed the default, gcc/g++ users (who happen to have CC installed
on their system) would again have to find a way to override it. So
attached is another try: I put the mods in interfaces/libpq++/Makefile.in.
That file already had some checks on PORTNAME (for windows) and CXX (for
g++), so it seems adding more checks (for irix5 and CC) doesn't make it
uglier and also gets the job done with minimal impact on other things.
