The bigger issue is that the RedHat family discourages static libraries

Depends on your situation.
Is the server you are trying to build pg_bulkload a production server
that cannot be changed?
In other words is possible to build the server from source?
Failing that there is the part way there method. I am not sure how well
this would work, others may have comments on this.
1) Go here:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/
Find 8.4.9(FYI 8.4 is now up to release 8.4.21)
2) Do the make without the install in the source.
3) Find libpgport.a in ~/src/port/
4) Copy it to the Postgres library directory. Not sure where that is in
Fedora. Though a search for libpq.so should find it.
5) Cross fingers, retry build of pg_bulkloader.
