That looks like it ought to work.  Did you get any compile warnings?
(Personally I tend to do the make steps as "make -s" so that you can
spot the warnings if there are any.)

Hard to say much about that.  Looking at the actual regression.diffs
might be more informative.

A general tip when playing around with development HEAD is to look
at the buildfarm:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl

If critters are falling over left and right on the commit you pulled,
then you got a bad version.  If all is green on the buildfarm but
it's not working for you, then we'd like to hear details.
