Well, for Solaris I've always added '-R' flags that correspond to the
various -L flags in the appropriate make files.  Since $(LIBDIR) is equal
to $(POSTGRESDIR)/lib which is the final installation directory it kind of
makes sense to use '-R' as we're only specifying additional linker search
directories as supplied to us by the user.  I suppose for Unixware we
could 'setenv LD_RUN_PATH $(LIBDIR)' or something.
