In manage-ag.sgml our docs says: [...] risk. To allow it, you must compile <productname>PostgreSQL</> with the C preprocessor macro <literal>ALLOW_ABSOLUTE_DBPATHS</> defined. One way to do this is to run the compilation step like this: <programlisting> gmake CPPFLAGS=-DALLOW_ABSOLUTE_DBPATHS all </programlisting> [...]
I wonder if there's a reason to suggest this gmake call. After all it makes gmake disregard the CPPFLAGS settings in the Makefile. This for instance breaks ecpg compilation on Linux as -D_GNU_SOURCE as defined in the Makefiles is needed for LONG_LONG_MIN. I think we should either change the docs or start using "override" in the Makefiles.
