I have seen that a lot of people are getting this error, but I don't see a

Easiest answer is to "configure --without-CXX" to suppress building of
the C++ interface library.  (I assume you don't use C++, else you'd
have noticed that your C++ compiler has a problem ...)

            regards, tom lane

OK, what platform are you on?

And there would have been another error before this one;

possibly 'as86: file not found' or something like that.
