Build cycles are cheap. Right, and it's not the issue here. I always do each build in a freshly unpacked source tree. > The whole thing's odd though --- certainly many people are building > PG successfully on macOS.

I'm now down to ./configure --prefix=/opt/bb/170705 and the initdb failure is the same. The build machine is a few months old and has current OS and Xcode, and certainly no other build tools or other relevant stuff. I have no special environment variables set. It's been a while since I built PG on macOS, but I regularly do on other operating systems, and haven't had any trouble in a very long time.
