Hello!
As a quick fix you can use the alternative build procedure:

cd <path_to_PostgreSQL_source_tree> && git clone https://github.com/postgrespro/pg_probackup contrib/pg_probackup && cd contrib/pg_probackup && make

I will look into this problem.
Thanks for a feedback!

Btw, did you consider to just use the packages for Centos ?

yes, I can use this Centos packages first. But I still need to build from source code for those offline circumstances.
thanks a lot for you quick response.
