It's full bootstrap, am afraid.

git clean -xf
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

That the problem is occuring during generation of loaddefs.el is a red
herring I think. loaddefs.el is fine (although empty except for the
header). I'm guessing that ja-dic.el is loaded for the first time during
the loaddefs.el generation.

ja-dic.el looks like it has some serious encoding problems.
