My patch is a workaround *not* the solution. It appears that the
following Makefile line attempted to deal with this issue:

override DLLLIBS := $(BE_DLLLIBS) $(DLLLIBS)

However, the above does not seem to work (anymore).

Additionally, my patch does not handle the Proj4 case.

PostGIS maintainers, please do not apply this patch as is. I'm willing
to help develop a real patch, if there is interest.
