$ ranlib /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.a

That's it. It creates/updates an index within the library. This
should've have been done when the archive was created. Since OS X is
new, it's architecture isn't caught properly by the typical ./configure
script (which is where the build environment would determine if ranlib
was nessecary as a follow-up to creating the archive). More than you
probably care about...
