I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, but contrib modules can be
built in two ways: with PGXS, or without PGXS. Typically, you compile
without PGXS when you're building the server and it's contrib modules,
and with PGXS if the server is already installed (and thus pg_config
is present) and you just want to compile one more module. Here it
looks like you're doing an in-tree compile but somehow PGXS is getting
enabled anyway - not sure what's going on there.
