commit c98c35cd084a25c6cf9b08c76de8b89facd75fe7
Author: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

    Avoid putting build-location-dependent strings into generated files.
    
    Various Perl scripts we use to generate files were in the habit of
    printing things like "generated by $0" into their output files.
    That looks like a fine idea at first glance, but it results in
    non-reproducible output, because in VPATH builds $0 won't be just
    the name of the script file, but a full path for it.  We'd prefer
    that you get identical results whether using VPATH or not, so this
    is a bad thing.
    
    Some of these places also printed their input file name(s), causing
    an additional hazard of the same type.
    
    Hence, establish a policy that thou shalt not print $0, nor input file
    pathnames, into output files (they're still allowed in error messages,
    though).  Instead just write the script name verbatim.  While we are at
    it, we can make these annotations more useful by giving the script's
    full relative path name within the PG source tree, eg instead of
    Gen_fmgrtab.pl let's print src/backend/utils/Gen_fmgrtab.pl.
    
    Not all of the changes made here actually affect any files shipped
    in finished tarballs today, but it seems best to apply the policy
    everyplace so that nobody copies unsafe code into places where it
    could matter.
