So your situation is:  postgresql was built on server A which does not 
have unsetenv and must use the postgresql provided built in version. 
pljava was built on Server B which does have unsetenv and therefore 
chokes when trying to include the postgresql built in version.  I'm not 
saying that you must build all the software on the server that it will 
be deployed upon, but you're asking for trouble if they aren't the same. 
  Consider what would happen if you did this in reverse, building 
postgresql on Server B and deploying it on Server A, it wouldn't even 
run because Server A doesn't have unsetenv and postgresql got built 
without its internal version because it was available on Server B.
