A easiest way to do this would be to put something like
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -Dpg_restrict" into the existing
if test "$GCC" != yes ; then
block in a/src/template/linux. But that'd probably result in "macro
redefined" warnings or somesuch.

So it'd probably better to introduce a FORCE_DISABLE_RESTRICT=yes, set
at the same place, that's then tested before running the relevant
configure check?
