This is the reason that was given to me by a developer - they were  
trying to link against one of these libraries, and the linker was  
putting the wrong thing in the NEEDED dependency - the value of  
SONAME, which referred to a non-existant file. The plpgsql.so file  
was just to give an example, like you say there are many more of  
these libraries in lib/ .
