Hi,

pg-cron on powerpc/ppc64/ppc64el is raising this warning inside the
ppc atomics:

gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror=vla -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 -Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fexcess-precision=standard -Wno-format-truncation -Wno-stringop-truncation -g -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fPIC -std=c99 -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wno-unknown-warning-option -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-maybe-uninitialized -Wno-implicit-fallthrough -Iinclude -I/usr/include/postgresql -I. -I./ -I/usr/include/postgresql/13/server -I/usr/include/postgresql/internal  -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include/libxml2   -c -o src/job_metadata.o src/job_metadata.c

/usr/include/postgresql/13/server/port/atomics/arch-ppc.h: In function ‘pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u32_impl’:
/usr/include/postgresql/13/server/port/atomics/arch-ppc.h:97:42: error: comparison of integer expressions of different signedness: ‘uint32’ {aka ‘unsigned int’} and ‘int’ [-Werror=sign-compare]
   97 |   *expected <= PG_INT16_MAX && *expected >= PG_INT16_MIN)
      |                                          ^~
src/job_metadata.c: At top level:

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Looking at the pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u32_impl, this looks like a
genuine problem:

static inline bool
pg_atomic_compare_exchange_u32_impl(volatile pg_atomic_uint32 *ptr,
                                    uint32 *expected, uint32 newval)
...
    if (__builtin_constant_p(*expected) &&
        *expected <= PG_INT16_MAX && *expected >= PG_INT16_MIN)

If *expected is an unsigned integer, comparing it to PG_INT16_MIN
which is a negative number doesn't make sense.

src/include/c.h:#define PG_INT16_MIN    (-0x7FFF-1)
