Curious. It looks like pg_encoding is being linked with a non-MULTIBYTE
version of libpq (which is the library that ought to supply those two
subroutines to it). But given the -L switch, you should have been
linking to the same libpq that you just built. (You did just build
libpq, right, not reuse one that was built without --enable-multibyte?)

If you did do any midstream reconfiguration, a "make distclean" at top
level, followed by configure and make all is probably the best way to
ensure everything's in sync.
