Hmph.  I confess bafflement --- it works fine for me on curremt macOS.

After reading the clang & ld man pages for a bit I wondered if I could
reproduce the problem by adding -flto to the compiler switches.  I was
right that that causes "unused" functions to get stripped out of the
postgres executable, but then you get a pile of failures when these
libraries get built:

undef: _pg_mic2ascii
undef: _check_encoding_conversion_args
undef: _pg_ascii2mic
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_pg_mic2ascii", referenced from:
      _mic_to_ascii in lto.o
  "_check_encoding_conversion_args", referenced from:
      _ascii_to_mic in lto.o
      _mic_to_ascii in lto.o
  "_pg_ascii2mic", referenced from:
      _ascii_to_mic in lto.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[3]: *** [ascii_and_mic.so] Error 1

Given that macOS's linker checks the resolvability of such symbols at
dylib build time, I really don't see how you could get through the
build successfully and then have a failure at run time.  It's weird.

Lacking any better ideas to offer, I can only suggest that maybe
removing/reinstalling Xcode would help.  (Hm, are you sure you've
installed Xcode's command line tools?  Try
xcode-select --install
to be sure.)
