Presumably you are using a fairly vanilla set of configure options, too.
Matthew's missing symbols are Kerberos subroutines, so evidently his
problem is that he configured --with-krb5 but didn't bother to mention
the Kerberos library(s) in his link command.
What I would recommend if you want a plugin substitute for the RPM
version of the library is to rebuild from the corresponding SRPM
and look at the log output to determine what options were used and what
libraries need to be mentioned while linking libpq.
