You seem to have put yourself into cutting edge PostgreSQL territory while
remaining firmly old-school on the OS side of things…not usually a good
place to find oneself.
My LLM guided understanding is your likely 9.6 tool path was removed in
favor of meson back in 2023. But meson itself is still working out the
rough edges for stuff like a defined target for a libpq-only build and
install.
There is no guarantee or real attempt to keep modern supported versions
running on software obsoleted before they even came into existence. You
may or may not be able to finagle make/meson to do what you are attempting
and the desire to help is limited. You may wish to consult an LLM of your
choice for assistance. For something like this they can be very helpful
with little downside.
