That's pretty weird. Look into the config.log output to see why that
particular test program is failing. (The relevant bit will probably be
a few hundred lines before the end of config.log --- the last section
of the log is a dump of the current values of all of configure's
variables, and there are a lot...)
BTW, which 8.4.x PG release is this exactly?
