The CVS version changed ./configure interface (that's why users
shoudln't have been using it before ;).

A simple ./configure --help tells you the correct syntax
(last lines).

What you need here is --with-pgsql=<path_to_pg_config>.

If pg_config is in your path you shound't need that flag.

Also, it is better if you avoid the --prefix flag to
keep installation layout compatible with version 1.0.0
of postgis.
