Paludis always sets the locale to "C", so the build fails regardless of what the system locale is. The log looks like this: >>> Starting src_compile * abi_x86_64.amd64: running multilib-minimal_abi_src_compile ninja -v -j8 -l0 [1/1705] /usr/bin/python3.6 /usr/lib64/python-exec/python3.6/meson --internal exe /var/tmp/paludis/sys-apps-systemd-234/work/systemd-234-abi_x86_64.amd64/meson-private/meson_exe_sed_c94d61f1b7ccf08defecb92b3b1f2dac341cff1d.dat FAILED: catalog/systemd.be.catalog /usr/bin/python3.6 /usr/lib64/python-exec/python3.6/meson --internal exe /var/tmp/paludis/sys-apps-systemd-234/work/systemd-234-abi_x86_64.amd64/meson-private/meson_exe_sed_c94d61f1b7ccf08defecb92b3b1f2dac341cff1d.dat WARNING: You are using 'ANSI_X3.4-1968' which is not a a Unicode-compatible locale.

It looks like a meson issue
I would suggest we modify meson.eclass to call the python_export_utf8_locale function from python-utils-r1.eclass.
Same issue with paludis even with utf8 locale.

Thank you. I can confirm that it's working now.
