Fixed in development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-12779 (for 3.0 and up).

Comment by Andris Mednis [ 2017 Sep 29 ]

The fix was developed to enable compilation with PostgreSQL 10rc1, released on 2017-09-21.
I don't know will the fix be necessary when a stable PostgreSQL 10 will be released.
Maybe then the version will become 10.0 and the fix will not be required.
