commit    6cf72879e944f32b5b8232541cccd575de797fa4
Author:   Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>
Date:     Mon Aug 17 09:15:46 2015 +0000
First released in: 9.6.0, 9.5.0

    Improve configure test for the sse4.2 crc instruction.
    
    With optimizations enabled at least one compiler, clang 3.7, optimized
    away the crc intrinsics knowing that the result went on unused and has
    no side effects. That can trigger errors in code generation when the
    intrinsic is used, as we chose to use the intrinsics without any
    additional compiler flag. Return the computed value to prevent that.
    
    With some more pedantic warning flags (-Wold-style-definition) the
    configure test failed to recognize the existence of _mm_crc32_u*
    intrinsics due to an independent warning in the test because the test
    turned on -Werror, but that's not actually needed here.
    
    Discussion: 20150814092039.GH4955@awork2.anarazel.de
    Backpatch: 9.5, where the use of crc intrinsics was integrated.
