Can't do that.

In current releases it's considered bad practice to be using absolute
paths for .so's at all --- better to make them relative to $libdir so
that your function definitions are more portable.

What I'd recommend is that you create the database, use the new
version's "createlang" to install the PLs you want, and then run the
restore script and ignore its bleats about the PL objects already
existing. This will get you a modern definition of the PLs together
with your existing data.
