Did you notice that Buildroot has its own pg_config in
package/postgresql/postgresql.mk ? Indeed, the pg_config built/installed
by PostgreSQL didn't work properly in a cross-compilation context, so
we simply implemented a simplified shell-based version. Perhaps it just
needs to be extended to support what python-psycopg2 needs ?
