PostgreSQL doesn't support Oracle's concept of synonyms. The message you read
is from a patch that eventually was rejected.
How you might replicate Oracle's synonyms in PostgreSQL depends on your
specific use case. You might consider emailing pgsql-general with details
about what precisely you use synonyms for, to get help on your porting
project.
