I've done some research about the root problem but couldn't find much
more than it's a relatively new encoding.
My guess is that it's still not supported by some platforms. I found
some threads about its inclusion to python[1] and glibc[2].

I agree that it might seem like it was added on purpose, but rather than
checking for changes on the build, it makes the build tools fail.

If you know somebody that might know more about the nature of this
problem, or why it was chosen, would you cc him/her, please? Maybe
that's better than changing it.
