I believe that the "make check" target in src/test/isolation is
fundamentally unportable, as is illustrated by the fact that buildfarm
member coypu is currently choking on it. The reason is that the
pg_isolation_regress program depends on libpq, and in particular it
depends on having an *installed* libpq. Anyplace where it appears to
work, it's because you already installed Postgres, or at least libpq.
I came across this old issue. Unless I'm missing something, there is no
reason why pg_isolation_regress needs to be linked with libpq at all,
and it works fine without it. If we removed the libpq link, then it
would work just like pg_regress and could support "make check".
Apparently, -Wl,--as-needed isn't working too well here.
I believe we can't rely on it working. If we really don't need libpq
then why not just filter it out?
