Subject: cannot build in a directory with non-ascii characters
Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2013 13:46:32 -0400

Package: emacs
Severity: important
Version: 24.3

It seems Emacs (still) cannot be built in a directory whose name contains
non-ascii characters. Ref:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2013-09/msg00033.html

If it cannot be made to work, configure should abort with an error in
such cases.

I have some vague memory that it also might not work with spaces in the
names, but did not test.

Similar restrictions may apply to the install --prefix as well.
