Instead, I think it makes more sense to just say 
configure --enable-sql
before you say 'make'

this should have run during 'make' not 'make install'.  The c file is
needed to build the postgres backend.


(you may need to delete files owned by root before typing 'make' again.
This is because running 'make install' as root probably left garbage in
teh source tree.)

It shouldn't have been that big.  Try installing a newer version of m4
and try again ???
