I followed your advice. Here's a link:
http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1000388&group_id=1000007&atid=126

There's another issue with the Makefile.global.in that I feel should be
addressed here. The file contains a lot of entries like:

ifeq "$(findstring pgsql, $(pkgincludedir))" ""
ifeq "$(findstring postgres, $(pkgincludedir))" ""
override pkgincludedir := $(pkgincludedir)/postgresql
endif
endif

Guess what happens if the install-location in itself contains the string
postgres?
A more correct way of doing it is probably to check if the directory in
question *ends with* pgsql or postgres rather then if it contains it.
