In the case of dblink/Makefile, it started as 

SHLIB_LINK = $(libpq)

which need to be augmented to:

SHLIB_LINK = $(libpq) $(LIBS)

When I saw the same errors pop up with sslinfo, there was no
SHLIB_LINK definition, so went to:

SHLIB_LINK = $(libpq) $(LIBS)

It's entirely possible that
SHLIB_LINK = $(LIBS)
is sufficient.
