    How about removing LINUX_ELF from all Makefile.in's?

Removing ??? Why removing it ???

You mean that removing the ifdef's containing LINUX_ELF and making 'by
default' the shared libraries all the time.

	There has to be a better method of determining this...doesn't
there?  Is there a test we can add to configure to auto-determine an 'ELF'
system?  Then just change the makefile so that it gets rid of the
LINUX_ELF "stuff" with something that configure sets?

	There, try that.  I have it so that if 'with-template' is
linux_elf, it sets LINUX_ELF to yes in both Makefile's...let me know if
that does it for you...

I have experimented right now.

I ran ./configure --with-template=linux-elf
It says that it will use template/linux-elf configuration file but I
looked into Makefiels in libpq and libpgtcl directories and none of them
contains LINUX_ELF=true

	This is with just new CVSup'd code? *raised eyebrow* 

	There should be (interfaces/libpq/Makefile.in):

# Shared library stuff
shlib := 
install-shlib-dep :=
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
  LINUX_ELF=@LINUX_ELF@
  ifdef LINUX_ELF
    install-shlib-dep := install-shlib
    shlib := libpq.so.$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION).$(SO_MINOR_VERSION)
    LDFLAGS_SL = -shared -soname libpq.so.$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION)
    CFLAGS += $(CFLAGS_SL)
  endif
endif

I believe no one is running non-elf Linux.  Am I correct?
