Platypus is freebsd though, and we now think we don't need shared
libraries on that platform:
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/makefiles/Makefile.freebsd.diff?r1=1.19;r2=1.20

I am wondering if the issue is that you need -fPIC and libperl was only
made with -fpic.

It could be that platypus was only passing before because it didn't try
to build plperl.
