Tom Lane e9d1560d3e Suppress macOS warnings about duplicate libraries in link commands.
As of Xcode 15 (macOS Sonoma), the linker complains about duplicate
references to the same library.  We see warnings about libpgport and
libpgcommon being duplicated in many client executables.  This is a
consequence of the hack introduced in commit 6b7ef076b to list
libpgport before libpq while not removing it from $(LIBS).
(Commit 8396447cd later applied the same rule to libpgcommon.)

The concern in 6b7ef076b was to ensure that the client executable
wouldn't unintentionally depend on pgport functions from libpq.
That concern is obsolete on any platform for which we can do symbol
export control, because if we can then the pgport functions in libpq
won't be exposed anyway.  Hence, we can fix this problem by just
removing libpgport and libpgcommon from $(libpq_pgport), and letting
clients depend on the occurrences in $(LIBS).

In the back branches, do that only on macOS (which we know has
symbol export control).  In HEAD, let's be more aggressive and
remove the extra libraries everywhere.  The only still-supported
platforms that lack export control are MinGW/Cygwin, and it
doesn't seem worth sweating over ABI stability details for those
(or if somebody does care, it'd probably be possible to perform
symbol export control for those too).  As well as being simpler,
this might give some microscopic improvement in build time.

The meson build system is not changed here, as it doesn't have
this particular disease, though it does have some related issues
that we'll fix separately.

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:

	https://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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
