Right, and it's not the issue here. I always do each build in a freshly
unpacked source tree.

I thought so, too, but I'm beginning to doubt it. I'm now down to

./configure --prefix=/opt/bb/170705

and the initdb failure is the same. The build machine is a few months old
and has current OS and Xcode, and certainly no other build tools or other
relevant stuff. I have no special environment variables set.

It's been a while since I built PG on macOS, but I regularly do on other
operating systems, and haven't had any trouble in a very long time.
