There are several buildfarm machines failing like this. I think a possible solution is for the postmaster to do putenv("PGPORT=nnn") so that libpq instances running in postmaster children will default to the local installation's actual port rather than some compiled-in default port. This is certainly not without its downsides, but if you are running a postmaster at a nondefault port then I think you ought to be aware that leaving dblink to choose a default port is a fragile idea.
