This is completely the wrong thing to do. pg_config.h is an 
autogenerated file. If anything, it should go in pg_config_manual.h, but 
much better would be to fix the configure check, if it's wrong. Just 
hacking the config files is a losing game.

Butr why does it fail anyway? It works just fine on the PostgreSQL 
Buildfarm. See
