I saw the the same thing today on sci-geosciences/gpsd package I was ready to open a new bug but saw this, yep changing my local to en_US.utf8" allowed the build to succeed also. Please fix this or explain ? Thanks for the tip BTW , but wasted most of the day trying to get around this problem ...

The full build.log would be good (and emerge --info) for future so I know exactly where to place the workaround.
