Not sure who or what to blame here (secure in the knowledge that I'm the
most likely culprit) but I had to
'ln -s /lib64/libreadline.so.6 /lib64/libreadline.so'
and same for libz

As a further note, the default destination of ossp-uuid is
/usr/local/lib so I added that to the configure line
(--with-libraries=/usr/local/lib).

Et viola: "All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install.
PostgreSQL installation complete."

Thanks all,
