this can happen for any number of reasons, generally having to
do with your environment. one is running out of link space in
/tmp. the more common one is broken file permissions (the
postgres user must be able to access that file, meaning you
should be able to "su postgres" (or whoever the postmaster is
running as), cd to that directory and (e.g.) "cat" the .o file.
the former problem cannot occur in postgres 4.2 because we no
longer use "ld -A" style dynamic linking.
