The problem with the current settings is that the linker is called
directly.  This is wrong, it should always be called through the
compiler
driver (the only exception is `ld -r').  This will make sure that the
necessary libraries like libgcc are linked in.

But there is still a different problem with the setting of LDFLAGS_ODBC.
The psqlodbc module defines the functions _init and _fini which are
reserved for the shared library initialisation.  These should be changed
to constructor functions.  Then LDFLAGS_ODBC can be changed to be just
`-lm'.  Btw, why does it use -Bsymbolic?
