Ah-hah. It fails if you do "make check" and have not got any
installation at the configured place, *and* the configured place
isn't under someplace like /home/postgres. The reason is that
relative_path doesn't work. On my test system, configured
with --prefix = '/home/tgl/testversion', we end up with
PGBINDIR = '/home/tgl/testversion/bin'
PGSHAREDIR = '/home/tgl/testversion/share/postgresql'
because Makefile.global attaches /postgresql to PGSHAREDIR.
The discrepancy in path length causes relative_path to
return false ... and even if it returned true, get_share_path
would do the wrong thing, because it assumes it need only append
/share after stripping /bin.
The reason this only affects timezone is that there isn't anything
else in /share that the backend needs to access. However I'm not quite
sure why get_pkglib_path seems not to be having the same confusion...
In short the "relative path" stuff still needs a lot more work.
