That extension (and every extension I've seen) uses Postgres's normal
extension-building infrastructure, so it runs pg_config to learn where
to put files. If you run pg_config on your system it will probably
report directories belonging to v11. (That's a little surprising because
on Ubuntu systems I've always had it report the latest version.)

Many other Ubuntu Postgres commands accept a PGCLUSTER envvar to
specific which cluster to use. If you want to add that to your pg_config
you could do it like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43403193/122087
Then just set PGCLUSTER before building. (Make sure you `make clean` first.)
