When building redhat-artwork (all versions for as long as I can remember): intltool doesn't like UTF-8 locales. Try rerunning with eg: LANG=en_US This happens if you have a utf8 LC_CTYPE. There is a line in the ebuild to set LANG=C. It does not work. This is because LC_CTYPE overrides LANG, so even if you set LANG to a non-utf8 locale, you still have problems. The proper way to fix this is to set LC_ALL=C (LC_ALL overrides everything.) Cheers.
what are your LC* settings? I have been running it fine with en_GB.UTF-8 for a long time. i don't think it is a UTF-8 problem, but a locale specific problem.

alrighty, added to redhat-artwork-0.96. thanks for your analysis and report
