It's working for me:
   ...   /bin/tar chf postgresql-9.4devel.tar postgresql-9.4devel   gzip --best -c postgresql-9.4devel.tar
>postgresql-9.4devel.tar.gz  bzip2 -c postgresql-9.4devel.tar >postgresql-9.4devel.tar.bz2   rm -rf
postgresql-9.4devel

It looks like your source directory isn't completely clean. Before I did 
this I did:
   git clean -dfx
