Comment(by darkblueb):

 I have built the GeographicLib on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, Postgres 9.3; and
 applied the supplied patch to 2.2trunk.

 The patch line 23 shows adding geodesic.o to NM_OBJS, but the build
 library shows

 }}}

 oddly, when I searched for geodesic.o, I found one here..
 {{{
 /pinedisk/srcsAced/grass_trunk/lib/gis/OBJ.x86_64-unknown-linux-
 gnu/geodesic.o
 }}}

 onward...
