Is there a particular reason for you to be doing that?

pg_mic2ascii is a function exported by the core backend. I suppose
that "-static" is somehow suppressing the visibility of that symbol
to the dynamically loaded library ascii_and_misc.so. I am not sure
whether this indicates a dynamic loader bug, or whether it's a case
of "so don't do that then" ... but in any case I don't think it's
a Postgres bug.
