make test: invalid ELF header

[Fred Stevens]

I get a similar error on SuSE 9.2 when trying to do a make check. This 
is part of the output:
** WARNING **: Failed to dlopen() 
'../../../src/gnc-module/test/misc-mods/libagedver.la': 
../../../src/gnc-module/test/misc-mods/.libs/libagedver.a: invalid ELF 
header


** WARNING **: Failed to open module gnucash/agedver

** WARNING **: : could not locate gnucash/agedver interface v.5

 I also get a guile crash when accessing a postgresql backend using 
postgresql 8.1.1 (but not 8.0.5) and gnucash 1.8.11.  Guile crashes with 
a segmentation fault and the postgres backend issues this error in the 
log file:

ERROR:  missing FROM-clause entry for table "gnctransaction"
LOG:  unexpected EOF on client connection

I haven't checked changes in libpq and libpq-fe for postgres between 8.0 
and 8.1 but I am sure that there are some.  If anyone has clues, I'd 
appreciate the help.  In the mean time I'll keep digging.

Thanks,

Fred
