Hmmm that's totally wrong - the override in Makefile.pgxs should only
ever be loaded for PostgreSQL 8.3 and 8.4, and not PostgreSQL 9.0 since
it already has the correct installation paths.
What I suspect is that you're actually getting bitten by this:
http://markmail.org/message/k7iolbazhrqhijfk#query:pg_config%20jun%202007+page:1+mid:rqk6ux2e7npqbrzf+state:results
Or, in other words, configure is picking up the wrong pg_config. Since
the path fix in the thread was not backported to < 8.3, then the
presence of an another pg_config for PostgreSQL < 8.3 in PATH will break
things :(
ATB,
Mark.
