Yep, su - and su -l are one and the same.  It's got to be path related, I'm
sure - probably more related to building with one account su'd to from another
without the login flag, as opposed to having to be root - maybe it's reading
the current/working directory wrong.  I think the postgresql script that
generates the header file is probably broken in some subtle way.
