Originally, I thought the problem was caused by a function that gets
called as a normal function where we want to return a value, and as a
signal handler where we need to have it accept a parameter (the signal
number) and it returns nothing, I was going to case the function name in
the signal call as (void (*)(int)).
Looking at all the source, it turns out this function only gets used as
a signal handler, so I set an int parameter and return void.
I have removed the Linux defines because they are not needed. BSD let
this sloppiness slide. Linux gave a compile error.

In postgres95/src/backend/nodes/readfuncs, lines 1188 and 1189,
local_node->relname is taken to point to a NameType, while its
defined as a pointer to char. Both the casting to Name and the
call of namestrcpy should, IMHO, be changed appropriately (first
patch).
As far as I could see from the Linux signal header file,
a signal handler is declared as
typedef void (*__sighandler_t)(int);
Few changes to postgres95/src/backend/storage/lmgr/proc.c seem
appropriate to comply with this.
Finally, postgres95/src/bin/pg_version/pg_version.c defines
a function GetDataHome (by default, returning an integer)
and returns NULL in the function, which isn't an integer...
