Re: Compilation of postgres 13.4+ source fails to find some of its own libraries

Thanks, Tom.

I was sort of hoping that was the case.. and I _did_ look for a note
mentioning changing that output in the release notes and thought to myself
"they would've mentioned a change like _that_..." (IIRC, it has been
there in every version I've ever used, and as such, I did not want to
proceed with a "make install" on a production box without seeing it
appear!)...

Thanks for the clarification and confirmation! I appreciate it.
