Hi,

this seems to have broken out-of-tree builds from tarballs:

make -C backend/snowball install
make[3]: Entering directory '/srv/projects/postgresql/debian/16/build/src/backend/snowball'
/bin/mkdir -p '/srv/projects/postgresql/debian/16/build/tmp_install/usr/lib/postgresql/16/lib'
/bin/mkdir -p '/srv/projects/postgresql/debian/16/build/tmp_install/usr/share/postgresql/16' '/srv/projects/postgresql/debian/16/build/tmp_install/usr/share/postgresql/16/tsearch_data'
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 dict_snowball.so '/srv/projects/postgresql/debian/16/build/tmp_install/usr/lib/postgresql/16/lib/dict_snowball.so'
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 snowball_create.sql '/srv/projects/postgresql/debian/16/build/tmp_install/usr/share/postgresql/16'
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat 'snowball_create.sql': No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [Makefile:110: install] Error 1

The file is present in src/backend/snowball/ but not in build/src/backend/snowball/:

-rw-r--r-- 1 myon myon 44176 22. Mai 21:20 src/backend/snowball/snowball_create.sql
