There are quite a few debian members of the buildfarm that are not
having any problem - see
<http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl>. So the question is
"why are you having a problem they aren't having?" You haven't given us
nearly enough information to be able to guess why it should be so. You
need to show us a) the output from configure and b) the complete output
from make (both stdout and stderr). c) the configure options you are
using. Are you having this problem with a fresh checkout?
