I think we're missing a dependency declaration from the backend to
libpgport in the makefiles somewhere. I just git updated on 9.1 on a
tree that was already built, ran make, and got this:
../../src/port/libpgport_srv.a(dirmod_srv.o): In function `rmtree':
/pgsql/source/REL9_1_STABLE/src/port/dirmod.c:546: undefined reference to `snprintf_throw_on_fail'

The solution is obvious, just "make clean" on src/port -- or
alternatively as Tom says, just clean the build every time before git
pull'ing. But since most cases with --enable-depend actually work fine
without either of those things, it's annoying that this small part
doesn't.
Anybody has a clue how to fix this, so that libpgport is rebuilt when
its files have changed? I guess we would have to have the backend
depend on each individual file on src/port ...?
