Looking at your Makefile, it seems to be expecting that CXXFLAGS will
be honored in the build, and it isn't being.

As far as I can see from pgxs.mk, you're supposed to spell that
PG_CXXFLAGS. Probably, it accidentally worked to do it the other
way in v10, but no longer does, likely as a result of the fact that
there's now some minimal amount of C++ code in core PG.

I'm a little dubious about whether overriding CXX is a good idea now, too.
(Likely the core setting is the same, but if it were pointing at a
different compiler that could cause trouble.)
