It appears that somebody has changed things so that the -L switches
appear after the -l switches (ie, too late). I'm too tired to
investigate now, but my money is on Autoconf 2.59 being the problem ...

Would be my guess as well...

So should includes/linking for PostgreSQL-built libs be handled
seperately? The original problem was that if --with-libraries was
specified then libpq etc would be linked from the system locations
instead of from within the build.

Yes, I think so. Peter Eisentraut's analysis strikes me as being correct.
