The OpenBSD folks seem to know about this one also. The ld (1) manpage says:

BUGS
Shared objects are not properly checked for undefined symbols.
[...]
OpenBSD 2.9 October 14, 1993

----snip----

In the link you gave, it looked like provisions have been made in the development version of PostgreSQL 7.2 to work around this. Kind of a dumb linker bug... but our *BSD friends seem to think it's a feature. :-)

Thanks,

We have disqualified this as a linker bug pending OS developer feedback.

No reponses yet. Feel free to post this to an OpenBSD forum.
