I am attaching a patch file that will replace the previous one. It only

contains the patches to Makefile.global.in and Makefile.unixware.  The
Makefile.unixware patch has been updated to include the contents of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if present, to the -rpath (-R) option.  This change
will  simplify configuring and building PostgreSQL on systems that
support  LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  You can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include all
the directorys  you want to have searched for additional libraries, run
configure, then run  make.  The paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH will then be
embedded in the executables  via the -rpath (-R) option to the linker,
and so will not require  LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order to run.
