    Fix configure's AC_CHECK_DECLS tests to work correctly with clang. · 16fbac39
    Tom Lane authored
    The test case that Autoconf uses to discover whether a function has
    been declared doesn't work reliably with clang, because clang reports
    a warning not an error if the name is a known built-in function.
    On some platforms, this results in a lot of compile-time warnings about
    strlcpy and related functions not having been declared.
    
    There is a fix for this (by Noah Misch) in the upstream Autoconf sources,
    but since they've not made a release in years and show no indication of
    doing so anytime soon, let's just absorb their fix directly.  We can
    revert this when and if we update to a newer Autoconf release.
    
    Back-patch to all supported branches.
