629b3af2 just moved around the existing -I switch in adminpack/Makefile.
AFAICS that switch goes back to adminpack's introduction, fe59e5666.
It was probably just copied-and-pasted from some other contrib Makefile;
since this Makefile has never actually linked libpq, it's hard to see why
it'd be useful here.
