I do not build on OS X so this is a bit of a reach for me, still here it
goes. From your original post the error was:

"reating conversions ... FATAL: could not load library
"/opt/bb/170704/lib/postgresql/ascii_and_mic.so":
dlopen(/opt/bb/170704/lib/postgresql/ascii_and_mic.so, 10): Symbol not
found: _check_encoding_conversion_args
Referenced from: /opt/bb/170704/lib/postgresql/ascii_and_mic.so
Expected in: /opt/bb/170704/bin/postgres
in /opt/bb/170704/lib/postgresql/ascii_and_mic.so"

You also mentioned you have done 32 bit builds that worked.

Now when I do 64 bit build on Linux the libraries end up in ~/lib64/:

/usr/local/pgsql/lib64> l ascii_and_mic.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9760 Jun 14 07:32 ascii_and_mic.so*

Yet in your case I see ~/lib/. Not sure how OS X handles 32bit/64bit,
which is where I am reaching. Just wondering if there is cross
contamination going on?

Another thought, what does:

ldd ascii_and_mic.so

show?
