If you can't be troubled to compile up pg_controldata, then you'll
have to resort to good old od:

$ od -c pg_control
0000000 314 201 030 267 255   u 344 277  \0  \0  \0   G 013 355   p 253
0000020  \0  \0  \0 004   < 004   ) 006  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0   8
0000040  \0  \0  \0  \0   7 026   e 210  \0  \0  \0  \0   7 026   D   h
0000060  \0  \0  \0  \0   7 026   e 210  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
0000100  \0  \0  \0  \t  \0 001 357 235  \0 017 017 354   < 004   ) 004
0000120  \0  \0      \0  \0 002  \0  \0   C  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
0000140  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
*
0000320  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0   C  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
0000340  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
*

The LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE locale strings should be the last nonzero
things in the file --- they're both "C" in this example.
