I've tried "make bootstrap", but it doesn't solve.

I found out that this issue is language environment specific
and not macOS specific.  The same issue can be reproduced under linux
with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8:


$ LANG=C ./src/emacs -Q
$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ./src/emacs -Q
# LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 ./src/emacs -Q
Symbol’s value as variable is void: lock-file-name-transforms
