I see that in this commit, you removed a non-ASCII character from a comment.
That was triggering the same build failure I'm experiencing with the
word "comprobación".
What is the rule here, remove the non ANSII characters, or we can set
the encoding to utf8?
The commit was:

    Fix non-ASCII in sparse.c
