I tried to reproduce this issue on debian stretch, but it worked just fine. I suspect your distro is just too old for 2.3. Can you see if 2.2.36 works better?

Also, to compile git master, you are required to have several tools which might not be available on older distributions, so you should stick to the tarballs.
