Not sure what I was looking at earlier, probably too many different
builds at the same time. Now I can't find the curl symbols in libpq.a
either...

... which immediately explains what the libpq-oauth-18.a file is for, yes.

But that means we'd need a -lpq-oauth-18 or something like that in
Libs.private in libpq.pc, right?

This seems to be missing, I checked both the autoconf and meson builds.
