I see; some details here:

  https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/xfunc-c.html#XFUNC-C-DYNLOAD

And I suppose the `directory` control file variable and `MODULEDIR` make variable make that necessary. 

Maybe $libdir should be stripped out when installing extensions to work with this patch?

Best,
