So that's what that was. I had the same problem in another project I was
working on (which I used some PostgreSQL configure code in).
I had to add this in the gcc section of configure: PGAC_PROG_CC_CFLAGS_OPT([-Werror-implicit-function-declaration])
But it would be nice to find a better fix. I don't understand how calling
a function that has not been defined yet is ever not an error.
