Some compilers are picky about extra commas in enum lists, some aren't.
I guess we have not currently got any in the buildfarm that are.

The problem here seems to be that informix.c was violating our coding
rule that no system headers may be included before c.h (or in this case,
postgres_fe.h). Please change the first few lines of the file to
this ordering:

#define POSTGRES_ECPG_INTERNAL
#include "postgres_fe.h"

#include <math.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <limits.h>

#include <ecpgtype.h>
...

and see if it doesn't work then.

BTW, it seems we do not have any buildfarm members running xlc.
If you can spare the cycles to build PG once a day or so, please
consider joining the buildfarm so these types of portability issues
can be caught sooner.
