What version(s) of PostgreSQL do you have installed?  What does
"pg_config --version" show?  I wonder if Makefile.config couldn't
figure out what version you have and thus set USE_VERSION=82 after
failing all other version tests.

This error suggests that your PostgreSQL header files are from a
version earlier than 8.2 (which is still in development).  The
offending code in lwgeom_gist.c passes six arguments to gistentryinit()
if USE_VERSION >= 82 and seven arguments otherwise, so we have to
figure out why USE_VERSION is set to 82 if you really have an earlier
version.
