That's likely the problem.  PostgreSQL 8.2devel changed that macro
a few months ago and PostGIS was updated to handle the new call
signature for USE_VERSION >= 82.  You're apparently using a recent
PostGIS that knows about the change but an old 8.2devel that hasn't
been changed.  If you're going to track PostgreSQL CVS then it's a
good idea to keep it current (and don't use it for anything you
wouldn't want to lose).

I'm not sure what you mean by "grab an archive."  If you've updated
your PostgreSQL 8.2devel source then back up any data you need to
keep, build and install the new 8.2devel (it'll require an initdb;
it won't be able to read the old 8.2devel cluster) then try building
PostGIS again.
