Here is the relevant error fragment:

      In file included from src/utils.c:13:
      In file included from /opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@16/include/postgresql/server/postgres.h:45:
      /opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@16/include/postgresql/server/c.h:75:10: fatal error: 'libintl.h' file not found
         75 | #include <libintl.h>
            |          ^~~~~~~~~~~
      1 error generated.
      error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit code 1

The file libintl.h is generally located in gettext i.e. /opt/homebrew/Cellar/gettext/0.22.5/include. However, the build process does not find it.

I tried the following which did not work:

export LDFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gettext/0.22.5/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gettext/0.22.5/include"

WORKAROUND

A fix was to make a copy of the file libintl.h in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/postgresql@16/16.4/include/postgresql/server so it was found.

Hoping this information may help provide a robust fix.
