There are several buildfarm machines failing like this.  I think a
possible solution is for the postmaster to do putenv("PGPORT=nnn")
so that libpq instances running in postmaster children will default
to the local installation's actual port rather than some compiled-in
default port.

This is certainly not without its downsides, but if you are running
a postmaster at a nondefault port then I think you ought to be aware
that leaving dblink to choose a default port is a fragile idea.

Thoughts?
