v15b4 shadowbuild fails when using src from symlink

Hi,

=> Fyi, using openSUSE Leap 15.4 (gcc v7.5.0 / make v4.2.1)
=> I noticed that after:

tar xfj postgresql-15beta4.tar.bz2
ln -s postgresql-15beta4 postgresql-15.0.0


=> a script containing something in the line of:
=> (shadowbuild using the symlink as sourcedir)

PGDIR=/.../target
PGSRCDIR=/.../postgresql-15.0

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

make -j2


=> fails on the following:

(...)
configure: using compiler=gcc (SUSE Linux) 7.5.0

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

make: *** [src/Makefile.global:390: submake-generated-headers] Error 2



=> while when doing 'mv postgresql-15beta4 postgresql-15.0.0' instead of 
symlinking, the same compile/script finishes fine

=> The root cause may very well be on the side of my environment, reporting 
nevertheless, just in case.
