That is the problem.  I don't have an fmgr.h file in include, just in
backend/fmgr.h.  It is finding an old one first.  It was not a problem
as long as no one made changes to the system tables, but I did.

That is why the clean cvsup worked for people.  How the fmgr.h file got
into include, I have no idea.

The only 683 I get from the source are labels in gram.c.

Remove the file and recompile.
