That looks suspiciously like this thread:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20150120161817(dot)GO1663%40alvh(dot)no-ip(dot)org#20150120161817(dot)GO1663(at)alvh(dot)no-ip(dot)org

which would suggest that you're trying to build some fairly old PG version
with some fairly new C compiler. Whether that's actually the case, well,
you didn't give enough info to tell.
