Hi Marco,
I was building Python locally so I can later submit a patch against it. It
appears the local python.exe was built successfully, but a later step failed with:
./python.exe -E -S -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars ;\
if test $? -ne 0 ; then \
echo "generate-posix-vars failed" ; \
rm -f ./pybuilddir.txt ; \
exit 1 ; \
fi

I've seen UnicodeEncodeError before and searched and found how to fix it.. but
hitting the issue while building Python itself seems more fraught. Is this a
known issue with known fix?
Thank you,
