However,when running "make" with Postgres 13's pg_config, its giving error:

Note that the PGDG repositories are not supported on Amazon Linux.
https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/ has a list of
supported platforms for them.

On CentOS, which is, you need to run:
yum install centos-release-scl-rh

To get access to the required packages. I have no idea if the same
thing exists on Amazon Linux, but it might be worth a try.

Not sure if it will make a difference, but your 9.6 instance is using 
the rhel6 repo and the 13 is using rhel7.

andI can see it has installed but only one more package I need that is "postgresql13-devel.x86_64" which needs another
dependency" llvm-toolset-7-clang >= 4.0.1" that is not available from the same repo. 

I don't believe 9.6 was supported either, but it may have worked "by chance".

The llvm dependency comes from the JIT functionality, which was added
in PostgreSQL 11, so it not being a dependency in an older version
than that makes perfect sense.
