Well, I care. :)

Busybox doesn't support much internationalization, because that's an enormous 
source of bloat.  We might support utf-8 someday if people can point out how 
this is supposed to differ from what we're currently doing, but if it 
includes this kind of blatant stupidity, then no, we won't. :)

As for this, I'm wondering if it's just a bug that became widespread because 
everybody updated to the new GNU tools at once, or if somebody somewhere 
intentionally made a really horrible decision (and if so, what their 
rationale was)...
