compilation of pg_config fails

Hi,

since str(n?)cat got replaced with strlcat, I fail to build PostgreSQL
(current CVS HEAD). HAVING_DECL_STRLCAT is not set, so AFAIK, the
strlcat() function from src/port should be used. However, I've read the
README there, but still don't quite know what's wrong.

The linker throws:

gcc -O1 -Wall -pg -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -g
pg_config.o -L../../../src/port -Wl,-rpath,'/usr/local/pgsql/lib'
-lpgport -lz -lreadline -lcrypt -ldl -lm -o pg_config
pg_config.o: In function `show_pgxs':
/home/markus/projects/pgsql/sources/trunk/src/bin/pg_config/pg_config.c:216:

undefined reference to `strlcat'

Even if objdump confirms that strlcat.o is compiled in
../../../src/port/libpgport.o:

In archive ../../../src/port/libpgport.a:

That dump shows strl*cpy*, not strlcat.

Since the buildfarm thinks it's OK, I'd first of all check whether you
have a complete and consistent checkout. Note that the default cvs
options will probably not get you one.
