postgresql 7.2b4 compile problems

From

Date:
I've been trying to compile the newest 7.2 beta for the past couple of days and its been throwing  an odd error and I'm uncertain what exactly its looking for.
 
I'm compiling it on an e-smith gateway with the following options: ./configure  --prefix=/usr --with-pam --enable-multibyte --enable-recode --enable-locale --with-maxbackends=64 --with-perl --enable-syslog
 
as well this is what postgres is outputing on error exit:
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/postgresql-7.2b4/src/interfaces/libpq'

is this a bug or am I missing something?

[scratches head...] As far as I can see, there's only one use of
atexit() in the 7.2 sources, and that's in psql not pg_dump.  More
to the point, it won't get compiled unless configure found that atexit()
is indeed available from your system's C library.  Is HAVE_ATEXIT
defined in your src/include/pg_config.h?

this is how it apreas in my src/include/pg_config.h

/* Define if you have atexit() */
/* #undef HAVE_ATEXIT */

I've uncommented this and, and even changed it to #define, but I still come
up w/ the same error msg.

  After undef'ing the HAVE_ATEXIT, I'd recommend 'make clean && make'
to ensure that you don't have any object files lying around that have
been compiled with the atexit() symbol in them.
