I found this bog because I was getting a lot of warnings of the style n function รข: with no symbol name, just an odd character. I have tracked this down to xterm not displaying utf8 even though my LANG environment variable was saying it was. A resolution to the immediate problem -- symbol names in warnings are replaced by odd characters -- is to export LANG=C before running make, then gcc uses plain old apostrophes instead of fancy matched ones around the symbol names and legacy terminals have no problem. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24703
