Thank you for the quick response. I apologize for leaving out some pertinent
information.

OS = Gentoo Linux
CPU = AMD Athlon XP-M x86
LDFLAGS = -Wl,-O1,--hash-style=gnu
LDFLAGS_SL = ${LDFLAGS}
PgSQL = 8.4.4

LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_SL are exported as environment variables that ./configure
does pick up, and pg_config confirms this. (pg_config also reveals that '--as-
needed' is tacked onto LDFLAGS, which isn't a problem.)
