Yea, I knew my original NO_PGPORT wasn't going to be the last, but now
we are stuck.

Add to this something Magnus mentioned that I did not see until just
now. The backend links in timezone/SUBSYS.o, which doesn't use pgport,
so you have pgport versions and native versions of some functions in the
same backend binary. I am not sure that will always work. Add to that,
are those object files fully compatible with the backend?
