A CI setup would do the job for example, see src/tools/ci/README that
explains how to set up things.

Except for the fact that the patch missed to define
pg_attribute_noreturn() in the MSVC branch, this looks fine to me. I
have been looking at what you meant with packing, and I can see the
business with PACK(), something actually doable with gcc.

That's a first step, at least, and I see no reason not to do it, so
applied.
