This looks as the output of configure (ran by config.status, ran by make).
Can you really run ./configure with no errors ?

A line like PGAC_TYPE_64BIT_INT is not present in the configure script.
It is a macro present in configure.in which is transformed 
to something else when the autogen.sh script is ran (before releasing
the package).

It looks like something (or someone) messed up with the configure scripts.
I'd suggest you re-extract the package in a new directory and try again,

--strk;
