David's right though: any reasonably modern version of pg_ctl (since
about 9.1 I believe) gets everything it needs to know out of the
postmaster.pid file.  Compiling in a different default
unix_socket_directory might save some effort when using psql or other
clients, but it should make no difference to pg_ctl.

It might be useful to strace pg_ctl to see what it's doing in the
problem case.
