http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2005-07/msg00096.php describes
what I think is causing octopus to fail. What's also interesting is
these patches from the FreeBSD port:

Can anyone comment on what the second one does, specifically the
allow_nonpic_in_shlib? As for the first patch, is there any way to make
that FreeBSD specific in the makefile without going to a Makefile.in?
Could that test be done in Makefile.global?
