I don't recall seeing such a bug, but the first question is whether you
installed readline-devel and zlib-devel packages.  Consulting the
specfile for the Fedora PG package shows you may also need many of these:

BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) glibc-devel bison flex gawk
BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::Embed), perl-devel
BuildRequires: python-devel
BuildRequires: tcl
BuildRequires: tcl-devel
BuildRequires: readline-devel
BuildRequires: zlib-devel
BuildRequires: openssl-devel
BuildRequires: krb5-devel
BuildRequires: openldap-devel
BuildRequires: gettext
BuildRequires: uuid-devel
BuildRequires: libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
BuildRequires: pam-devel
BuildRequires: systemtap-sdt-devel
