[Bug binutils/27551] The default encoding of the strings utility does not conform to POSIX: should honor the current locale.

--- Comment #10 from Vincent Lefèvre <vincent-srcware at vinc17 dot net> ---
The bug is that:

  if (encoding == 's')
    buf[0] = c & 0x7f;

So the byte 0xc0 gets changed to 0x40, which is printable.
