Well, it's not --- we have a buildfarm animal that's running 5.10, and
it seems perfectly happy:
http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=castoroides&dt=2016-05-21%2014%3A00%3A47

At this point I suspect that Asif Naeem was correct upthread in
questioning your compile options --- particularly the -L switches.
castoroides seems to just be using this:

'config_env' => {
      'CFLAGS' => '-m64 -xarch=native -xdepend -xO4 -xprefetch=auto,explicit',
      'CC' => 'cc',
      'LDFLAGS' => ''
},

Thanks. Then, as i suspected, the problem must be around using appropriate CFLAGS, which i am not sure at what to use. One thing i can say at this point is that, if i just add "-m64" option in CFLAGS, i get an error illegal option.

I will re-test the compilation and get back with the inputs.
