Pleasereport this to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org.

That attached patch allows PostgreSQL to compile successfully.  I'm
still examining the test failures, but I think they are irrelevant to
this.

Please note that you also need to update config/config.{sub,guess} to
the latest versions from upstream
(https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/config_002eguess.html)
since your current versions are too old to understand the riscv{32,64}
architectures.
