Re: errcodes.h and others not generated when compiling 13.6 on M1 Mac

This all came about because we use asdf as a version manager which compiles
the versions of various programs you want to use. There's potentially a
problem with the asdf plugin for postgres which I'd like to fix. I couldn't
make head nor tails of the problem with asdf, so I cloned the source and
started trying to compile it myself. The error I get when I compile it
myself and when asdf does it are the same (the problem with header files
not being generated)

When I compile it myself I'm not doing anything more complicated than:
git checkout REL_13_6
./configure
./make

modulo running git clean -f -d -X and make clean to get back to a clean
source checkout.

Sorry, it's difficult to answer as I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.
But I do use homebrew. I do NOT use MacPorts.
AFAIK, the version of perl that is used is the system version. I do have
the xcode dev tools installed. I can provide more information, but I'll
need more specific questions.
