It would be helpful to know:

1) Are you pulling from a particular head on the git repo or a
particular branch?

2) What where the arguments you passed to configure?

Aah, I assumed this had something to do with OS X. Wrong assumption. On
my openSUSE install where make world succeeded I find the program osx:

aklaver@tito:~> osx --help
Usage: osx [OPTION] SYSID..

....

osx converts SGML to XML. osx parses and validates the SGML document
contained in SYSID... and writes an equivalent XML document to the
standard output. osx will warn about SGML constructs which have no XML
equivalent.

So it seems you need to install osx on your system.

If you want to build the documentation (which is one of the steps implied
by "make world") then osx is one of the tools you need for that.  On my
RHEL machine it's part of the "opensp" package.  I don't know how Ubuntu
arranges their doc tools, but on RHEL and Fedora I've always found that
it was sufficient to install the "authoring and publishing" package set.
You can find additional advice at
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/docguide.html

If you don't actually care about the PG docs, don't use "make world".
"make all" at the top level, followed by "make all" in the contrib
subdir, should cover what you need.
