This looks weird. Sure, "-O2" makes things faster, but we shouldn't
force that here. If you want optimizations, you should use pass
CFLAGS="-O2" or CFLAGS="-O3" to configure. And why the special mention
of MemSet() and MemSetAlign()?

I see there's some references to MAKE_EXPORTS in src/backend/Makefile.
They seem related to MKLDEXPORT, but we never set MAKE_EXPORTS. Are they
still needed?
