Following the advice in the error message, the following ALSO fixes it
(REL_10_STABLE):

borg.lerctr.org /home/ler/Git/postgresql/src/port $ git diff
diff --git a/src/port/Makefile b/src/port/Makefile
index 81f01b25bb..9ef00b3d54 100644

OBJS = $(LIBOBJS) $(PG_CRC32C_OBJS) chklocale.o erand48.o inet_net_ntop.o \

Is that more acceptable?
