Also, which port of autoconf are you using? We're still stuck at 2.59, so if you are using the newer port available in FreeBSD, you may be being bitten by that as well ...

FreeBSD which, exactly?  It makes a difference, because AFAICS from
configure newer versions of FreeBSD use ELF, and the link switches
are different then.

The Makefile.shlib file copied by pgsql sources
adds a -Bforcearchive flag to LINK.shared with
arch is freebsd, but the flag seems to be
unsupported (this is from 7.2.1 to 8.0.0)

Weird enough PostgreSQL build works fine
(no -Bforcearchive flag used)

You need to figure out why the applied switches are different for your
build than for the main build --- they really should not be.  Are you
sure you're picking up the same copy of Makefile.global?
