Hi Stanley,

I did a fresh checkout of both PostGIS SVN and PostgreSQL 8.4 which 
works for me without any issues. One thing to bear in mind is that 
PostGIS SVN takes all of its installation paths from your PostgreSQL 
installation automatically, and so may be confused by the --prefix 
parameter (see 
http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-svn/ch02.html for 
the new configure parameters).

If that doesn't help then you'll need to post the output of configure 
for us to look at.


ATB,

Mark.
