I note that both those functions exist in ecpg's pgtypeslib in HEAD
but not in 8.1. I'm betting you have an older pgtypeslib.so in
/usr/local/lib and that the poorly-chosen order of -L flags in the
above command is the problem.
Basically the bug here is that src/interfaces/ecpg/test/Makefile.regress
does
override LDFLAGS += -L../../ecpglib -L../../pgtypeslib -L../../../libpq
which is guaranteed to create the wrong ordering of -L switches compared
to anything coming from "configure --with-libraries". We need all the
-L switches for inside-the-build-tree directories to come before all the
ones for other places. pg_xs.mk does this by the simple expedient of
including PG_LIBS before LDFLAGS on the link command line;
Makefile.shlib has a more complex approach involving surgery on LDFLAGS
itself; but one way or the other you need to be careful.
