This means you linked against the 10.5 version of libSystem.

There's no such thing as a fully-static build on OSX (well, not
without doing some hackery when linking).  You end up with a static
libpq, but libSystem is dynamic-only.

The way to fix this is to add "-isysroot
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" to your flags, to get the 10.4 SDK.
