Could you please try compiling postgresql-{server,client} after removing
the libgetopt/buildlink.mk lines from the package Makefiles?  PostgreSQL
includes its own getopt code if it's not present in the system libc.  I
added those lines way back in the early days of buildlink when I needed
more buildlink.mk files for testing purposes, but they're not really
needed by the PostgreSQL packages.

Please let me know your results, and if you're successful, I'll make the
changes permanent in the repository.
