   Hi,
   
   I need the following patch to make PostgreSQL happy
   on Loongson with OpenBSD (http://www.openbsd.org/loongson.html).
   These restrictions no longer exist on OpenBSD.
   Tested with the latest alpha (9.1 alpha5) and with
   the latest 9 release (9.0.3).
   
   Regards,

   I'm a bit inclined to think the right fix is not exactly what is
   proposed here, but rather to make the openbsd (and freebsd) versions of
   this file look like the netbsd one, viz
   
   #if !defined(HAVE_DLOPEN)
   	snprintf(error_message, sizeof(error_message),
   			 "dlopen (%s) not supported", file);
   	return NULL;
   #else
   
   Since you can't do much useful without dlopen support in any modern
   version of Postgres, it doesn't seem like there is much risk of breaking
   any working situation --- so we might as well back-patch, too.
