If I execute this:

ar x /opt/postgresql/lib/libpq++.a $(ar t /opt/postgresql/lib/libpq++.a)
ar x /opt/postgresql/lib/libpq.a $(ar t /opt/postgresql/lib/libpq.a)

And replace the 'pgsqlbackend.o' above by '*.o', I get a working .so
that does not depend on any pgsql .so's.

But it strikes me that ld should have been able to perform this magic by
itself.

Might this be a bug?
