commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=eada187e77022f0da30884a826dc1767ba99abe8
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

During activation, pg_ctl uses exec to start the db server, which causes
the service to never finish activating when Type=forking. Upstream
recommends configuring --with-systemd and using Type=notify.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/server-start.html

Upstream says:
    When using systemd, you can use the following service unit file
    [...]
    Using Type=notify requires that the server binary was built with
    configure --with-systemd.
