The trick is to override this bit in Makefile.global:
PG_CONFIG = pg_config
bindir := $(shell $(PG_CONFIG) --bindir)
datadir := $(shell $(PG_CONFIG) --sharedir)
... etc ...
It might be better if the standard invocation of a PGXS build were not
ifdef USE_PGXS
PGXS := $(shell pg_config --pgxs)
include $(PGXS)
but something like
ifdef USE_PGXS
PG_CONFIG := pg_config
PGXS := $(shell $(PG_CONFIG) --pgxs)
include $(PGXS)
to sync these invocations of pg_config with the ones in
Makefile.global. I'm not sure though how to get this setting to
override the one in Makefile.global ... or should we just remove
that one?
