Hm. We have been assuming that AIX's problem is that dynamic libraries
don't remember their dependencies properly, but maybe the real issue is
that it prefers static over dynamic libraries? If so, what we ought to
be doing is adding the prefer-dynamic-libraries switch to the default
LDFLAGS on that platform.

You have a mistaken idea of the purpose of pg_config --libs. It exists
to record what LIBS was at build time, not more, not less. It is
certainly not intended as a guide to how to link libpq.
