Well, that's pretty interesting. Evidently you were able to persuade
the linker to dynamically link libpgtcl.so to libcrypt.so, but the patch
I suggested did *not* persuade the linker to dynamically link libpq.so
to libcrypt.so. Just exactly what change did you make in libpgtcl's
Makefile, anyway? I assumed it was simply adding -lcrypt, but now I
am not so sure.

It's also curious that libpq.so is not showing any dynamic dependency
on libc. I think we must have the wrong linker options for libpq.

And we also need to figure out why the linker is including libpq.a into
libpgtcl.so, instead of creating a dynamic link from libpgtcl.so to
libpq.so like it did for libcrypt and libc.

(BTW, do you have a libcrypt.a in /lib, or just libcrypt.so?)

It seems clear from your ldd results that your machine is capable of
doing the right thing, but we aren't invoking the linker with the right
options. Where I want to get to is:

libpgtcl.so: dynamic dependency on libpq.so (and libc of course)

libpq.so: dynamic dependency on libcrypt.so (and libc of course)

It might be worth extracting the part of the "make all" log that shows
what commands are being used to build each of these libraries.
