Hi,

=> Fyi, using openSUSE Leap 15.4 (gcc v7.5.0 / make v4.2.1)
=> I noticed that after:

tar xfj postgresql-15beta4.tar.bz2
ln -s postgresql-15beta4 postgresql-15.0.0

=> a script containing something in the line of:
=> (shadowbuild using the symlink as sourcedir)

PGDIR=/.../target
PGSRCDIR=/.../postgresql-15.0

cd $PGDIR
$PGSRCDIR/configure --prefix=$PGDIR/install --enable-thread-safety --with-
libxml

make -j2

=> fails on the following:

(...)
configure: using compiler=gcc (SUSE Linux) 7.5.0
configure: using CFLAGS=-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -
Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror=vla -Wendif-labels -Wmissing-format-

fwrapv -fexcess-precision=standard -Wno-format-truncation -O2
configure: using CPPFLAGS= -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include/libxml2
configure: using LDFLAGS= -Wl,--as-needed

+ make -j2
make -C ./src/backend generated-headers
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/development/4suse15.4-x86_64/
postgresql-15.0/src/backend'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'generated-headers'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/development/4suse15.4-x86_64/
postgresql-15.0/src/backend'
make: *** [src/Makefile.global:390: submake-generated-headers] Error 2

=> while when doing 'mv postgresql-15beta4 postgresql-15.0.0' instead of
symlinking, the same compile/script finishes fine

=> The root cause may very well be on the side of my environment, reporting
nevertheless, just in case.

Tnx,

Frank.
