Hmmm...this command fails with "too many command-line arguments"
on both FreeBSD and Solaris (8.0.4 built from source on both), so
I wonder if your build is using a getopt_long() that behaves
differently than what I'm using.  Might not matter, though.

Have you done a process trace (strace, ktrace, truss, etc.) to see
if createlang is even looking for .pgpass?  Does it work if you
set the PGUSER environment variable instead of using the -U option?

You mentioned FC4, so maybe Tom Lane or somebody more familiar
with that platform has some ideas about what's happening.
