Why in the world would you get involved in that portability mess for a
function that is called only once?  There's no possible performance
justification for making it inline.

I'm also wondering why you have got conflicting declarations in
postgres.h and port.h, and why none of these declarations follow
ANSI C (write "(void)" not "()").
