you don't need GetAttributeByName for frontend functions -- the 
interface for that is part of libpq.  unfortunately there are no
examples in the user manual on how to use libpq, you just have to
slog through the rather non-tutorial discussion in the ref manual
and look at src/contrib and src/bin for examples.

GetAttributeByName is a hack to provide a tuple interface for 
functions that are loaded in the backend server and need to 
work on one tuple at a time.  if you are trying to load this into
the backend, you don't want -lpq and you do want -c in there 
somewhere.  you also need to create a shared object in accordance
with the user manual.
