Normally you just upgrade 'em ...

"/usr/local/pgsql/lib/btree_gist.so"

... however, what it looks like here is that the CVS-tip version of
contrib/btree_gist has got a completely different API than 7.4 did.
I suggest you beat up Oleg and Teodor about providing an upgrade path.
This isn't a Postgres bug per se, it's a btree_gist bug.
