The global.bki file is not in the archive, it is created by
src/backend/catalog/genbki.sh. The C preprocessor, sed, and awk are major
links in that chain. If any source file is corrupted it would be one of
the header files under src/include/catalog.
Btw., there are MD5 sums of the tarballs available.
