v15rc1 shadowbuild fails when using src from symlink

L.S.,

Just like v15b4, the first rc fails to compile when using the source from a 
symlink.

=> openSUSE Leap 15.4 (gcc v7.5.0 / make v4.2.1)

=> unpack source

=> create a symlink $PGSRCDIR to the source(-rc1) folder

=> create a build folder $PGDIR and from within that:

$PGSRCDIR/configure --prefix=$PGDIR/install --enable-thread-safety

make -j2 
=> fails on the following: 
(...)
configure: using compiler=gcc (SUSE Linux) 7.5.0

Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror=vla -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-

=> when using the real source folder instead of the symlink, the same compile/
script finishes fine
