Thanks for the heads up on this, it has been on my TODO list for a
while.

Since we bumped the host gcc requirement to gcc 4.8, I installed a
different Debian chroot (based on Debian Jessie) on my autobuilder, and
since it's a new installation, I did have any UTF-8 locale enabled.
I've done that now, which should hopefully fix the uClibc build.

Thanks!

Thomas
