I don't understand why you don't want to backpatch the PGXS bits.  Is
there something working today that would be broken by it?  I think
you're worried about places that invoke makefiles with PG_CXXFLAGS set
and expecting the value not to be propagated.  Is that a scenario we
need to worry about?

The patch neglects to update extend.sgml with the new pgxs variable,
though.
