Now, to see the things postgres really needs, as opposed to things other 
libraries need or that we just throw in for good measure in case 
somebody needs them, run this:
 LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-necessary ./configure

without any third-party options (like pam, openssl, kerberos ...), 
Alternatively, you can set the flag in src/Makefile.global

This should work on FC2, which I believe has binutils 2.15.

Almost every line above will disappear.
