PostgreSQL always uses own versions of *printf(), but does not export them

Hi,

we came across an issue when compiling projects against PostgreSQL
version >=12, as the *printf symbols seems not to be properly
exported.

Build log example:
/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/gambas3-3.14.3-3.fc33.x86_64/usr/bin/gbi3:
symbol lookup error:
/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/gambas3-3.14.3-3.fc33.x86_64/usr/lib64/gambas3/gb.db.postgresql.so:
undefined symbol: pg_fprintf

Are we missing some steps required for building against PostgreSQL
version >=12, or is this an unexpected error?

Also, the issue seems to be related to this commit[1], and more
details can be found in the original Fedora bug report[2].
