This is a known problem with FreeBSD-3.1 and PostgreSQL I had too with
6.5 cvs version. I suppose you use FreeBSD elf ? Take a look to
ports for freebsd-elf specific patches or just change
src/Makefile.shlib
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), freebsd)
ifdef BSD_SHLIB
install-shlib-dep := install-shlib
ifdef ELF_SYSTEM
shlib := lib$(NAME)$(DLSUFFIX).$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION)
LDFLAGS_SL := -x -shared -soname $(shlib)
else
shlib :=
lib$(NAME)$(DLSUFFIX).$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION).$(SO_MINOR_VERSION)
LDFLAGS_SL := -x -Bshareable -Bforcearchive
endif
CFLAGS += $(CFLAGS_SL)
endif
endif
and makefiles/Makefile.freebsd
ifdef ELF_SYSTEM
LDFLAGS+= -export-dynamic
endif
%.so: %.o
ifdef ELF_SYSTEM
$(LD) -x -shared -o $@ $<
else
$(LD) -x -r -o $<.obj $<
@echo building shared object $@
@rm -f $@.pic
@${AR} cq $@.pic order $<.obj | tsort
${RANLIB} $@.pic
@rm -f $@
$(LD) -x -Bshareable -Bforcearchive -o $@ $@.pic
endif
This works for me !

Oleg
PS.
These patches are already applied to current 6.5 sources.
