I can see that, and I think this patch makes sense even though we don't have
much of a precedent for outputting informational messages from Makefiles.

+ echo 'libpq must not call exit'; exit 1; \
Since it's not actually libpq which calls exit (no such patch would ever be
committed), I think it would be clearer to indicate that a library linked to is
the culprit. How about something like "libpq must not be linked against any
library calling exit"?
