Ok, I have found a couple lines in configure (4354-4356) and
config/perl.m4 (31-33) that confuse me a bit as it seems that their sole
purpose is to actually strip *out* the
-R/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/mach/CORE portion of the linker args:

pgac_tmp1=`$PERL -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts`
pgac_tmp2=`$PERL -MConfig -e 'print $Config{ccdlflags}'`
perl_embed_ldflags=`echo X"$pgac_tmp1" | sed "s/^X//;s%$pgac_tmp2%%"`

now pgac_tmp1 contains what should really be the ld args for the final
build/linking, pgac_tmp2 contains
-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/mach/CORE

it looks like the sed line is stripping out pgac_tmp2 from the pgac_tmp1
leaving the system to use the default perl libperl.so.

when I modified perl_embed_ldflags to not remove the -R line, the
compile works and links to the proper libperl.so

P.S. From this point forward I will direct any followups to just the
postgresql mailing list as it does not appear to FreeBSD specific at
this point).
