Hi,

I need the following patch to make PostgreSQL happy
on Loongson with OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org/loongson.html).
These restrictions no longer exist on OpenBSD.
Tested with the latest alpha (9.1 alpha5) and with
the latest 9 release (9.0.3).

Regards,

I'm a bit inclined to think the right fix is not exactly what is
proposed here, but rather to make the openbsd (and freebsd) versions of
this file look like the netbsd one, viz

#if !defined(HAVE_DLOPEN)
snprintf(error_message, sizeof(error_message),
"dlopen (%s) not supported", file);
return NULL;
#else

Since you can't do much useful without dlopen support in any modern
version of Postgres, it doesn't seem like there is much risk of breaking
any working situation --- so we might as well back-patch, too.
