The current HEAD of postgres in the git repo is not building when using "make world". It's been like this for about a month or so that I've been aware of. I didn't really need the world build so been making due without it. At PGCon now, though, so asked Bruce and he said this error was due to my not having the sgml tools installed, which should not be a requirement.
Brief part of the compile output is below with the error at the end. Full output is attached.
