This looks like another instance of missing libraries, akin to a
problem I'm having with compiling (AIX 5.3 with GCC 4.1.1) with
OpenSSL support.
Those objects are part of gettext, which gets linked in if you request
NLS support.
What has proven helpful to me with the OpenSSL issue is to modify
contrib/dblink/Makefile
SHLIB_LINK = $(libpq)
-- becomes -->>
SHLIB_LINK = $(libpq) $(LIBS)
You might find that helpful.
You might also try to recompile some non-contrib component, let's say
the postmaster, or psql. See what libraries are included; adding them
to the SHLIB_LINK line may do the trick.
Tom Lane has indicated that simply adding in $(LIBS) isn't quite
right; it may draw in too many libraries. I don't see any other
binding that is more suitable, alas.
