Can't build emacs with non-ascii chars in build path

[Jan Djärv]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

If the path to the emacs sources contains non-ascii, it seems the build fails.
I did (UTF-8 character in the directory):

% mkdir /home/jhd/src/ämacs-å
% cvs co emacs
% ./configure ...
% make bootstrap

...
./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap

Are we not supporting this case?  Should we be?

The unicode2 branch gets further, but has an error later:

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
