Yeah, that's true -- since "make check" has seemingly never worked well
with a non-ASCII path, then the patch doesn't really regress anything
much (although the number of tests that fail with non-ASCII paths
increase).

OK, I'll apply the patch (after test-compiling on a couple systems), and
open a new bug report for the non-ASCII path/"make check" thing.
