Re: [INTERFACES] problem with LOAD

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 !

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