Sorry for not follow the thread and posting from different account
than before. I'm currently having trouble with [EMAIL PROTECTED]
account. Marc is kindly working for me and will be fixed soon but...

No the plaform is not changed. I compare the link command for psql 8.3
and current.

8.3:
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wendif-labels 
-fno-strict-aliasing command.o common.o help.o input.o stringutils.o mainloop.o 
copy.o startup.o prompt.o variables.o large_obj.o print.o describe.o psqlscan.o 
tab-complete.o mbprint.o dumputils.o  ../../../src/backend/parser/keywords.o 
-L../../../src/port -lpgport -L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq 
-L../../../src/port  -Wl,-rpath,'/usr/local/pgsql/lib' -lpgport -lz -lreadline 
-lncurses -lcrypt -ldl -lm  -o psql

CVS Head:
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wendif-labels 
-fno-strict-aliasing command.o common.o help.o input.o stringutils.o mainloop.o 
copy.o startup.o prompt.o variables.o large_obj.o print.o describe.o psqlscan.o 
tab-complete.o mbprint.o dumputils.o  ../../../src/backend/parser/keywords.o 
-L../../../src/port -lpgport -L../../../src/interfaces/libpq -lpq 
-L../../../src/port -Wl,--as-needed 
-Wl,-rpath,'/usr/local/src/pgsql/current/lib' -lpgport -lz -lreadline -lncurses 
-lcrypt -ldl -lm  -o psql

So the difference seems:

--as-needed -Wl,

is added to CVS Head. Actually if I remove the option and link psql,
then everything is fine. Any idea?
