 Uh, no.  That probably explains why regress.so didn't get built, either.
 
   regards, tom lane

OK -- rebuilt without '--disable-shared', and 
===
 All 114 tests passed. 
===

1) Should the Docs note that '--disable-shared' will prevent the compile
time regression checks from running
2) Should the compilation note to the user that '--disable-shared' will
prevent compile time regression checks from running
3) should the error message output when regression fails for the above
reason not be along the lines of
...snip...
gmake[2]: stat:regress.so: There are too many levels of symbolic links 
to translate a path name.
rm -f regress.so
ln -s  regress.so
gmake[2]: stat:regress.so: There are too many levels of symbolic links 
to translate a path name.
...snip...
4) if '--disable-shared' is passed, should the user be notified that
compile time regression checks will be skipped ( and then skip them ).

You probably ought to inquire into the cause of these:
 gmake[2]: stat:regress.so: There are too many levels of symbolic links to 
 translate a path name.

Usually that indicates circular symlinking :-(.  You didn't show us the
part of the log about building plpgsql.so, but I'll bet it had the same
issue, whatever it is.

Would plpgsql.so get built with..

Configuration params:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql833 --without-readline --disable-shared


I'll see if I can figure out the symbolic links recursion issue.

thanks,
reid
