I vote +1, that's the system compiler in modern OpenBSD.

As for curculio, I don't understand the motivation for maintaining

Commits

  1. Rename hook functions for debug_io_direct to match variable name.

  2. Rename io_direct to debug_io_direct.

  3. Skip the 004_io_direct.pl test if a pre-flight check fails.

  4. Use higher wal_level for 004_io_direct.pl.

  6. Add io_direct setting (developer-only).

  7. Introduce PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE and align all I/O buffers.

  8. Add palloc_aligned() to allow aligned memory allocations
