It depends.  For built-in Apache stuff, the answer is no; the
modules are not shared (unless you explicitly build with shared
support).  In English, this means you won't see any linked libs
using ldd on *.so modules.

For non-built-in Apache modules, many prefer shared.  For
example:

$ ldd /usr/local/libexec/apache22/libphp5.so
/usr/local/libexec/apache22/libphp5.so:
        libcrypt.so.3 => /lib/libcrypt.so.3 (0x38404000)
        libm.so.4 => /lib/libm.so.4 (0x3841c000)
        libxml2.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.5 (0x38432000)
        libz.so.3 => /lib/libz.so.3 (0x3853d000)
        libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x3854d000)

As for the rest of your question -- as I've never run into this
problem (nor do I use PostgreSQL, although it doesn't appear to be
a problem with PostgreSQL), I can't really comment.

Just wanted to share the above info.
