Hi,
While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that wims-extra could not be built reproducibly.
Ironically the "fixscripts" target in the upstream Makefile actually
breaks files it generates under non-UTF8 locales when they do not
contain regular characters, making them include the tell-tale string
"Binary file matches.."
The attached patch fixes this with grep's --text option. Once
applied, wims-extra can be built reproducibly in our reproducible
toolchain.
