Re: Issues cross-compiling libpq 14.x to MacOS armv8

Thanks Tom!

Should we expect this fix in the next 14 patch release, or only in 15.x?

If latter, I would add this patch into Conan package itself, to make it work 
earlier.

It seems like a useful test when *not* cross compiling, which is most

Or actually, since we should print something, it looks like this will do:

diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
index a5c10b8d56..7257afda20 100644

Off to see if I can verify that before pushing.
