"symbol (unknown)".  Can you turn on debugging symbols?  Knowing the 
symbol may point to a library that was not compiled properly.

Are you sure that all pg_ctl referenced libraries and all libpq.so 
referenced libraries were built as 64-bit using PIC?  Are you linking 
with any static library that may contain 32-bit objects?  That error is 
most commonly PIC or arch-mismatch.
