Reverse out because the lack of using pgport in timezone/ is causing
problems: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support cross compilation by compiling "zic" with a native compiler. This relies on the output of zic being platform independent, but that is currently the case.

- If you are cross-compiling<indexterm><primary>cross
- compilation</primary></indexterm> (compiling on one architecture
- with the intent to run on a different architecture), special care
- needs to be taken. First of all, specify the host architecture
- (the architecture PostgreSQL will run on) using the option
- <option>--host</option>. The variables <envar>CC</>,
- <envar>CFLAGS</>, etc. should refer to the build tools for the
- host architecture. During the build process, the time-zone
- database for PostgreSQL is created and a special tool to do that
- is compiled and run during the build process. This tool needs to
- be compiled using a native compiler. Specify this compiler using
- the variable <envar>CC_FOR_BUILD</envar>. Cross compilation
- requires expert knowledge and the support for this process in the
- PostgreSQL tree should be considered somewhat experimental.
