This looks pretty bogus. The code in around line 2681 is

ArchiveEntry(fout, oid, target, namespace, owner,
"COMMENT", deps,
query->data, "", NULL, NULL, NULL);

deps is declared in the signature of the surrounding function:

static void
dumpComment(Archive *fout, const char *target,
const char *namespace, const char *owner,
const char *oid, const char *classname, int subid,
const char *((*deps)[]))

The declaration of ArchiveEntry() is:

extern void ArchiveEntry(Archive *AHX, const char *oid, const char *tag,
const char *namespace, const char *owner,
const char *desc, const char *((*deps)[]),
const char *defn, const char *dropStmt,
const char *copyStmt,
DataDumperPtr dumpFn, void *dumpArg);

deps has exactly the same type in both.

I wonder whether the const gets lost somewhere, perhaps due to something
that configure does.
