Hi

While building Slony1-2.2.3 tarball on Linux against PG9.4, I observed that
the configure failed for the following reason:-

--
configure:5703: checking for pgport
configure:5729: gcc -o conftest -g -O2

$ nm -oA server/staging/linux-x64/lib/libpg* | grep last_dir_separator
server/staging/linux-x64/lib/libpgcommon.a:exec.o:                 U
last_dir_separator
server/staging/linux-x64/lib/libpgport.a:path.o:0000000000000070 T
last_dir_separator

So, I'm wondering why do we see undefined symbol even though pgport lib is
 included in the linking
