postgres 7.2 make check problem

I am upgrading from 7.1 -> 7.2

./configure --enable-multibyte=UNICODE
make
make check
============== creating temporary installation ==============
============== initializing database system ==============

pg_regress: initdb failed
Examine ./log/initdb.log for the reason.

Perhaps you did not configure PostgreSQL for multibyte support or the
program was not successfully installed.

Ok, so what's wrong? I haven't a clue. It appears to me that this
should go smoothly. What more information would be helpful to
diagnose the problem?
