Heikki Linnakangas 01051a9879 Use AS_IF rather than plain shell "if" in pthread-check.
Autoconf generates additional code for the first AC_CHECK_HEADERS call in
the script. If the first call is within an if-block, the additional code is
put inside the if-block too, even though it is needed by subsequent
AC_CHECK_HEADERS checks and should always be executed. When I moved the
pthread-related checks earlier in the script, the pthread.h test inside
the block became the very first AC_CHECK_HEADERS call in the script,
triggering that problem.

To fix, use AS_IF instead of plain shell if. AS_IF knows about that issue,
and makes sure the additional code is always executed. To be completely
safe from this issue (and others), we should always be using AS_IF instead
of plain if, but that seems like excessive caution given that this is the
first time we have trouble like this. Plain if-then is more readable than
AS_IF.

This should fix compilation with --disable-thread-safety, and hopefully the
buildfarm failure on forgmouth, related to mingw standard headers, too.
I backpatched the previous fixes to 9.5, but it's starting to look like
these changes are too fiddly to backpatch, so commit this to master only,
and revert all the pthread-related configure changes in 9.5.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
