This is unlikely to be a bug in Pg - it's known to compile and work
perfectly well on Ubuntu 8.10 .

Perhaps you should do what the error message says and look at
"config.log" ?  If you still have trouble, post a request for assistance
to -general and MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE A LINK TO YOUR config.log FILE. DO
NOT ATTACH IT. A good place to upload such files is http://rafb.net/ .

Alternately, if you're not comfortable building from source just install
PostgreSQL from the Ubuntu repositories (using backports if needed).
