Yeah.  I'm overdue for another sync with upstream --- I'm dreading
that a little bit because they've been aggressively "modernizing"
their code and I fear it will be painful.

[ ... click click ... git pull ... ]  It looks like the way that
reads now in upstream is

#if !HAVE_POSIX_DECLS
extern int      getopt(int argc, char * const argv[],
                        const char * options);
extern int      link(const char * target, const char * linkname);
extern char *   optarg;
extern int      optind;
#endif

We could probably assume that we'll treat their code as though
HAVE_POSIX_DECLS is true and so this whole stanza goes away.
But I'd just as soon not think about it until I have the energy
to do that sync.  Unless somebody else is hot to do it (if so,
see the notes at src/timezone/README), let's leave this be
for now.

                        regards, tom lane
