I would strongly prefer the following solution as it solves this entire
class of problems globally, although I'd really want Michal's ACK for it:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 33d4732..7fefc13 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
@@ -302,6 +302,10 @@ MAKEFLAGS += --include-dir=$(srctree)

+# Avoid funny character set dependencies
+LC_ALL=C
+export LC_ALL
+
 # Make variables (CC, etc...)

 AS		= $(CROSS_COMPILE)as
