Hmm, I changed these rules again in commit da952b415f44, maybe your
problem is with that one? I wonder if changing the references to
../include/storage/lwlocklist.h to
$(topdir)/src/include/storage/lwlocklist.h (and similar things in
src/backend/storage/lmgr/Makefile) would fix it.

Do you run configure in the source directory or a separate build one?
