Well, this is pretty interesting:
make -C src all
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/dennis/workspace/pgsql_build/src'
make -C common all
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/dennis/workspace/pgsql_build/src/common'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/dennis/workspace/pgsql_build/src/common'
"make" didn't find anything to do there. However, digging through the
rest of the make log, I find that the backend link went through
successfully with
/home/dennis/workspace/pgsql_build/../postgresql/src/backend/../../src/common/libpgcommon_srv.a
If I'm counting ".."'s correctly, that's pointing at
/home/dennis/workspace/postgresql/src/common/libpgcommon_srv.a
that is, something in your source tree not your build tree.
Extrapolating, I'd guess that you have a partial build laying about in
your source tree that includes libpgcommon_shlib.a, and depending on just
how a particular Makefile is worded, the VPATH mechanism might find that
file when libpgcommon_shlib.a is asked for; it's certainly enough to
discourage make itself from building a new copy in the build tree. But
the linker doesn't know enough to find that from "-lpgcommon_shlib".
In short, you need to clean out your source tree before trying to do a
VPATH build. If using git, "git clean -dfx" would do it. Otherwise
you might be best advised to blow away the tree and re-extract the
tarball you started from.
