PSA: don't be in a hurry to update to XCode 9.0

It seems to install some libraries that depend on
/usr/lib/system/libsystem_darwin.dylib, which doesn't exist.
Googling suggests it will be there in macOS 10.13,
but on Sierra or earlier, you're outta luck.

It looks like the only directly-affected PG dependency is
libxml; if you leave out --with-libxml you can still build.

I found this out the hard way on longfin's host, so I've
temporarily removed --with-libxml from that animal's
configuration to restore it to service. I trust I'll be
able to re-enable that after 10.13 comes out.

regards, tom lane

Tom,

Did you ever find a solution to this without updating ?

No. I filed a bug report which Apple seems uninterested in, perhaps
not too surprisingly.
