Comment(by gdt):

 (Sorry for the delay.)  I applied the patch, and did build/install with
 and without the patch.   The patch didn't seem to cause any problems, and
 it fixed a lot of the build activity at install time problems.  So I'd say
 yes, please backport to 2.1.

 I do see some remaining issues, basically the 2 for loops to create
 upgrade files for various versions.   The code does get run during build,
 but is rerun at install time, as shown by "make install" output and also
 new timestamps in the source tree.

 {{{
 for OLD_VERSION in 2.0.0 2.0.1 2.0.2 2.0.3 2.0.4 2.0.5; do \
           cat sql_bits/extension_upgrade_minor.sql >
 sql/postgis--$OLD_VERSION--2.1.3.sql; \
 done
 for OLD_VERSION in 2.1.0rc1 2.1.0rc2 2.1.0rc3 2.1.0 2.1.1 2.1.2; do \
           cat sql_bits/extension_upgrade_patch.sql >
 sql/postgis--$OLD_VERSION--2.1.3.sql; \
 done
 }}}

 I can't immediately explain, but it looks like the make rule always fires
 and then runs a for loop, without some sort of "touch upgrade-
 multiversion-done" canary.  Either that or explicit rules per version, but
 that sounds really awkward.
