I'd suggest taking a look in the file config.log, which has more
details as to what's going on.

Specifically, search for "checking postgres.h usability".

You'll see exactly what commands configure was trying to run to check
this, and that is quite likely to improve the ability to diagnose
what's breaking.

It's almost certainly NOT related to an "includeserverdir" issue; that
*used* to be an issue back in the PostgreSQL 7.x days, when "server
includes" were separate from "client includes," and it took a special
option to request installing the "server bits."

I'm not sure what the specific issue is; I don't have access to any
Windows systems, and I expect that the issue has something to do with
that.
