Comment (by Arne Ehrlich):

 This error occurs when the python locale environment is not set correctly.
 I got this for an compile error message when rtems-source-builder  failing
 to building expat on MacOS.

 ensuring LANG and LC_ALL are set fixed the problem writing the error log

 export LANG='en_US.UTF-8'  LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8'

 LANG is generally set correctly on macos.

 if one is setting one of the LC_* variables to a different locale
 (I use LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8")

 then python assumes the encoding is ascii only.

 setting LC_ALL overrides this and python happily uses utf-8 again.
