You mean src/template/aix, no?  Agreed, that seems like a reasonable
place to control it.  But I'm pretty sure the above would flat out
not work, the #define in pg_config.h would override it.

+1.  I think you don't actually have to skip the configure check,
and there might be some value in letting it carry on normally
(so that "restrict" is set properly).  We'd just want it to affect
what pg_restrict gets defined as.  Something like

if test "$ac_cv_c_restrict" = "no" -o "x$FORCE_DISABLE_RESTRICT" = "xyes"; then
  pg_restrict=""
else
  pg_restrict="$ac_cv_c_restrict"
fi

                        regards, tom lane
