Rare link canary failure in dblink test

Hi,

A couple of recent cases where an error "libpq is incorrectly linked
to backend functions" broke the dblink test:

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=lorikeet&dt=2020-08-22%2002:55:22
| REL9_6_STABLE | Windows
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=lorikeet&dt=2020-04-27%2022:46:16
| HEAD | Windows

Before that, lorikeet last said that before commit a33245a8 apparently
fixed something relevant, but curiously the message also appeared a
couple of times on two Unixen. Perhaps we can write those off as lost
in the mists of time.

lorikeet seems just plain unstable these days :-(. Don't know why.

No, those were expected, because they ran between ed0cdf0e0, which
intentionally introduced this error, and e3d77ea6b and 4fa3741d1
which fixed it.
