Not able to compile PG16 with custom flags in freebsd 14.1 - GCC fatal error cannot read spec file

Question

Hi everyone I am trying to install Postgresql 16 on my freebsd 14.1 hosted in an ec2 machine on AWS.

I am using GCC13 to compile the binaries and I keep on running into

gcc13: fatal error: cannot read spec file './specs': Is a directory

here is the code of my bash script I have also uploaded the same code in github gist :- https://gist.github.com/mokshchadha/6c5590e339959a91dc6985b96dee25cb
