Yup, that's as expected :^)

Up to now you have built against the static libpq.a
I didn't add the right -blibpath to this patch that
failed for you - the broken initdb is dynamically linked
but does not know where to look for its shared library.

The patch I just submitted to pgsql-patches should take
care of that. It makes the executables look in --libdir.
