I really don't know why the old version fails on a directory without any
non ascii chars but this patch fixes it. If this is acceptable for
everyone then please apply this patch.

Version: 24.4

>> Ie, just swap "^" for "!".

Well, you live and learn. Bash and zsh allow either [^...] or [!...],
but ksh only the latter. I guess every other instance of [^...] in the
Emacs build rules must be in sed rather than the shell.

So I changed ^ for !, but the whole check is likely to get removed soon
anyway.
