This usually means that the dynamic linker is picking up a version of
libpq.so that doesn't have MULTIBYTE support, but the program you are
trying to run requires MULTIBYTE. Fix: update your ldconfig settings
so that the thing finds the version of libpq.so you just built, rather
than whatever old version it's finding.

pg_regress tries to get the system to notice the libpq.so that it
installed in the tmp_check/install area, but I believe it's quite a
ways short of making that work correctly everywhere.
