Any ideas?
No, but maybe an antiquated OS and up to date applications is not the
best match. Debian stable is somewhere around PG 7.4.x.
But we were using SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb even in 7.4, and AFAICT
the function has existed in OpenSSL since 1999 or earlier.
I did some googling and found various people complaining of similar
build problems with completely Postgres-unrelated software that's using
OpenSSL, so it seems there's something a bit odd about that particular
function ... but I didn't find out what.

TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
Hehe, I would never ever do that, I swear! ;-)
First of all, thanks for your valuable answers!
Concerning the "antiquated OS": I think this is not the right place to
discuss the antiquity (right word? - sorry my mother tongue is German)
of an OS. Just one sentence: I have been in the business for 25 years
now and I therefore prefer stability to
"always-have-to-have-the-super-freshest-software". ;-)
The reason why I break this self-imposed "rule" with postgres is that we
use postgres (exclusively) for teaching database courses here at our
institution and we need some functionalities that require version 8.x.
Tom, of course I did that googling, too before I dared to ask on this
list. But all I found was questions, no answers. ;-) I will dig into
that problem further and keep you informed if I find a solution.
Thanks and Cheers
Dieter
