Sorry for not follow the thread and posting from different account
than before. I'm currently having trouble with ishii(at)postgresql(dot)org
account. Marc is kindly working for me and will be fixed soon but...

No the plaform is not changed. I compare the link command for psql 8.3
and current.

8.3:
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing command.o common.o help.o input.o stringutils.o mainloop.o copy.o startup.o prompt.o variables.o large_obj.o print.o describe.o psqlscan.o tab-complete.o mbprint.o dumputils.o ../../../src/backend/parser/keywords.o -L../../../src/port -lpgport -L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -L../../../src/port -Wl,-rpath,'/usr/local/pgsql/lib' -lpgport -lz -lreadline -lncurses -lcrypt -ldl -lm -o psql

CVS Head:
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing command.o common.o help.o input.o stringutils.o mainloop.o copy.o startup.o prompt.o variables.o large_obj.o print.o describe.o psqlscan.o tab-complete.o mbprint.o dumputils.o ../../../src/backend/parser/keywords.o -L../../../src/port -lpgport -L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq -L../../../src/port -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-rpath,'/usr/local/src/pgsql/current/lib' -lpgport -lz -lreadline -lncurses -lcrypt -ldl -lm -o psql

So the difference seems:

--as-needed -Wl,

is added to CVS Head. Actually if I remove the option and link psql,
then everything is fine. Any idea?
