+QT, Firefox, LibreOffice/OpenOffice, Pango and GTK+, along with many other projects.

+To overcome this problem, please set your system's locale setting for non-Unicode to
+English (United States), reboot, and restart the build, and the code should build
+normally.  See also this GNOME Wiki page [1] that gives a bit further info on this.
