PostgreSQL 9.0 alpha 4: build issues - modules - with OpenSSL 0.9.8l

From

Gents,

As I mentioned, we've successfully built the 'core' with OpenSSL 0.9.8l.  

However, on an attempt to build modules, we're running into a combination of dependency and undefined symbols errors:

First, we were seeing a missing dependency: ld: fatal: library -lpgport: not found
in build attempts on: oid2name, pg_standby, pgbench, vacuumlo - plus a non-build of dblink, presumably due to a dependency on oid2name(?)

Got around the pgport issue by building 'port' explicitly with:
# cd src/port
# make

Returning to contrib dir and re-attempt the make:  Undefined symbol errors: PQconnectionNeedsPassword

This affects builds of modules: oid2name, pgbench, vacuumlo
PQconnectionNeedsPassword           oid2name.o
PQconnectionNeedsPassword           pgbench.o
PQconnectionNeedsPassword           vacuumlo.o

With removal of the corresponding references in contrib/Makefile, all other modules build AOK.

Can you give us full platform information?
