Yeah, I ran into that too. The makefiles don't have a dependency that
forces postgres.bki to be rebuilt when you update the major version in
configure.in. Just delete src/backend/catalog/postgres.bki and
rebuild/reinstall. (Actually, as of CVS HEAD it shouldn't be a problem
anymore because of yesterday's changes in pg_proc.h.)

I'm not sure whether it's worth adding an explicit dependency to cover
this case. It only comes into play at major version boundaries.
