I think we've seen this before: do you have utf8_and_euc_jis_2004.c

distribution tarball.
Thanks Tom,
The "c" on the end was missing.
Fixed that, how about this
Given that you already know your tarball extraction mangled the output,
perhaps you should delete the copy you extracted and start again using a
trustworthy tree extracted using GNU tar or similar. It's reasonable to
assume that other problems you encounter have the same root cause - your
tar program's mangling of the tree.
Try:
tar xvzf postgresql-whatever.tar.gz
