When I use gcc, (FC4) I find that the error messages are

Are you by any chance using a non UTF-8 capable xterm?

This cannot be the problem. These messages are supposed to contain
the names of C Language Identifiers. Such characters are illegal
in C source.

I used to see this when ssh-ing into FC4 from an openbsd system, using
the default openbsd xterms.

This is a defect in gcc, almost surely. He could have a clobbered
compiler.

This message made from 100% recycled bits.
You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
