Hm, do you have a file

src/backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs/euc_jis_2004_and_shift_jis_2004/euc_jis_2004_and_shift_jis_2004.c

and did anything get built from that?

We have seen reports of certain versions of "tar" failing to extract
this file from the source tarball, probably because its name is so
long. That could have happened to you --- if so, the recommendation
is to find another tool to un-tar with.
