What kind of issues did you run into? Have they been fixed since?

zlib detection (https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CA+OCxozrPZx57ue8rmhq6CD1Jic5uqKh80=vTpZurSKESn-dkw@mail.gmail.com) for which Nazir worked up an as-yet-uncommitted patch.

uuid detection, which Andrew fixed.

I also ran into an issue in which the build fails if both gssapi and openssl are enabled, but it turns out that's a code issue that affects at least v16 with the old build system as well.
