Did we ever do anything about this? It looks like the thread got
distracted with VPATH builds and now I'm seeing this problem in 9.3.0.
:(

This occurs in Arch Linux, but for some odd reason not on Ubuntu when
using apt.postgresql.org. Somehow the pgxs.mk supplied by
apt.postgresql.org differs from the one shipped in PostgreSQL.

Is there a chance of getting this resolved in PostgreSQL or should we
get extension writers to fix their makefiles instead?
