Hi David,

It turns out I had pulled the distribution from
https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v14.0/ and extracted its src/
directory into our repo's structure, which was rooted at /source. I failed
to notice the difference at the time I was having the issues.

My apologies for wasting your time.
