It's a bit more complicated :-)

You can see what the buildfarm does at
<https://github.com/PGBuildFarm/client-code/blob/ec4cf43613a74cb88f228efcde09931cf9fd57e7/run_build.pl#L2562>
It's been somewhat fragile over the years, which most people other than
Tom and I have probably not noticed.

On most platforms it needs postgres to have been installed before
looking for the typedefs.
