'make check' fails

I have discovered that:

make clean; make check

fails with:

/bin/mkdir -p '/pgtop'/tmp_install/log
make -C '.' DESTDIR='/pgtop'/tmp_install install >'/pgtop'/tmp_install/log/install.log 2>&1
src/Makefile.global:388: recipe for target 'temp-install' failed
make: *** [temp-install] Error 2

and '/pgtop'/tmp_install/log/install.log says:

relpath.c:21:37: fatal error: catalog/pg_tablespace_d.h: No such file or directory
#include "catalog/pg_tablespace_d.h"
^
compilation terminated.
<builtin>: recipe for target 'relpath.o' failed
make[3]: *** [relpath.o] Error 1

Oddly, this works:

make clean; make; make check

I found this because I have some scripts that do the former. The
problem has existed for several days now and I only now dug into it.
