This is unrelated. The issue at hand is that the postgres/postmaster
executable must export its symbols so that the dynamically loaded modules
(e.g., PL handlers) can refer back to them. Normally this is done using
-Wl,-E when linking the postmaster executable. However, the Solaris
linker does not have this option, I believe it does it by default. So we
have to first find out what linker is being used and then write something
like

if {GNU ld}
export_dynamic := -Wl,-E
endif
