Hi Reini,
I agree dllwrap seems the coolprit, and "gcc -shared"
seems a better alternative ,
at least on a single test with this dll.

I looked on the postgresql makefiles and it is a big mess to
replace dllwrap; upstream is crazy, they crippled configure
forcing a specific version and refusing to use Automake.

Autoconf+Automake will be a much cleaner approach, and will
allow to avoid at all the platform checks.

Could you make another check on 9.2.2 package before a new RFU

Thanks in advance
Marco
