This chunk broke PostGIS 3.3.0 compiled with 15beta3, when used with
15beta4:
psql -Xc 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis'
ERROR: could not load library "/usr/lib/postgresql/15/lib/postgis-3.so":
/usr/lib/postgresql/15/lib/postgis-3.so: undefined symbol: json_categorize_type
The PostGIS source has this comment:
* The following code was all cut and pasted directly from
* json.c from the Postgres source tree as of 2019-03-28.
* It would be far better if these were exported from the
* backend so we could just use them here. Maybe someday.
* Sequel: 2022-04-04 That some day finally came in PG15

#if POSTGIS_PGSQL_VERSION < 170
static void
json_categorize_type(Oid typoid,
JsonTypeCategory *tcategory,
Oid *outfuncoid)
The "< 17" part was added on 2022-09-03, probably because of this
breakage.
Recompiling the (unmodified) 3.3.0 against 15beta4 seems to fix the
problem.
So, there is probably no issue here, but I suggest this "static" might
be considered to be removed again so PostGIS can use it.
