I can reproduce this.

I'm not in favor of this patch because these files build fine on
master, so there is no good reason to exclude them. We should arrange
so that they build fine on PG16 as well. The problem is, not all the
required headers are generated when invoking `make headerscheck`. The
attached patch brings in some Makefile rules from master to make this
work. Does this fix it for you?
