Since commit 2a8065e "package/postgresql: bump version to 16.1", the
postgresql service fail to start at runtime with an error:
FATAL: could not load library "/usr/lib/postgresql/dict_snowball.so": /usr/lib/postgresql/dict_snowball.so: undefined symbol: CurrentMemoryContext
This is due to the Posgresql autotool configure script trying to
detect whether the toolchain linker needs --export-dynamic or not.
This test is done with a runtime execution of a test program, and
therefore cannot run in cross-compilation. In that case, the
configure script assumes it is not needed. See commit [1], included
in PostgreSQL v16.0.
This commit fixes the issue by forcing the value in _CONF_ENV, as
suggested in an upstream bug report [2]. The package has already a
Kconfig dependency on !BR2_STATIC_LIBS, so the value can be
unconditionally set.
Note that upstream is not considering cross-compiling as supported, and
are not keen on fixing any cross-compiling issue [3].
