Why don't we instead arrange to run it during install?
I'm not real thrilled with the notion of trying to use a zic built by a
different compiler; I think that will lead to all sorts of problems,
considering that the files it's meant to write are binary and
at least potentially architecture-specific. Also there's the problem
that it is reading a pg_config.h that is definitely platform-specific.
BTW, the truth of the matter is that we've never supported
cross-compilation; see all the AC_TRY_RUN operations in configure.
