Hmmm .... when you say "object file", do you mean it's really named
"test_func.o"?

If so, that's both the wrong name and the wrong type of file.  Postgres
is looking for a shared library, eg "test_func.so" (or on some platforms
".sl" or ".dylib").  There's some advice in our manual about the
compiler switches to use to create a shared library, or see your
compiler documentation.

Given AS '/usr/include/pgsql/server/test_func', Postgres will look for
both "test_func" and "test_func.so" (not sure which order, try the LOAD
reference page for details).  It won't look for "test_func.o" though.

BTW, most people would say that /usr/include is exactly where NOT to
put an executable file ... conventionally this kind of file goes under
/usr/lib.  That's not what's causing your problem, it's just a question
of keeping your filesystem tidy enough to be able to find things again.
