Thanks, Elizabeth. That theory makes quite a bit of sense, particularly since I compiled postgresql without using .deb packaging several weeks ago. Unfortunately I have little clue as to how to sort through /usr/lib for what might be the offending libary. The one that you mentioned is older than the machine installation, so it's most likely part of the base install.
I thought that by recompiling awk from source with the current set of libraries I might resolve such an issue, but no luck. I just did that (going from debian source to debian package and installing that), and the same error returns when I do make menuconfig. Will dig through and see what I can come up with. Wiping the drive and starting over is beginning to look attractive...
