It helps for "ascii srcdir, non-ascii builddir", but there are still
problems later on, again related to Emacs mistakenly believing that
certain directories do not exist, when they do (Warning: arch-dependent
data dir `...' No such file or directory; etc).

The "non-ascii srcdir == builddir" case fails even earlier, due to not
finding etc.

Yes. I literally did (in a non-ascii) directory:

./configure --prefix=/tmp/EMACS
