Hm. tas() is a machine-dependent subroutine for low-level spinlocking.
It's typically provided as a macro in src/include/storage/s_lock.h
or a function in src/backend/storage/buffer/s_lock.c; some platforms
have assembly-coded versions in src/backend/port/tas/. It sounds like
for some reason none of the provided alternatives are getting compiled
on your platform. Please dig through the #ifdefs in those files and
figure out what needs to be changed to make it work on your setup.

(A likely possibility is that configure misidentified your platform;
did you notice whether it printed a reasonable platform ID?)
