[Reproducible-builds] locale woes

[Scarlett Clark]

Hi all, so after some help I have compiled this a few times with different
locales and LC_ALL settings and I cannot seem to reproduce this silly
symbol. I am not convinced
I am doing it right though. It gets dropped more often than not. Any
suggestions welcome so that I can convince upstream to encode the generated
files utf-8 which DOES work, I just have to prove it.
It is a holiday weekend here, but mine is delayed to Sun-Tues evening as I
am heading off to visit parents. Will be offline till then, but look
forward to some ideas Wednesday :)
Thanks everyone for all your help,
Scarlett
