Okay. I had been using an abbreviated compile command to deal with the 
libpq libraries on my Linux machine. It worked fine on Linux, but failed 
on Mac OS X. (Looking at the make files hinted at this.)

Looking back at libpq-build.html and using the commands in their 
intended form, my stuff compiled on OS X (and Linux), no problem.
