garbled messages containing "â"

[Patrik Jonsson <patrik at ucolick dot org>]

Hi,

My gcc (4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 4.0.2-8)) recently started garbling its
output by inserting "â" instead of names of routines, arguments, etc.
Typical example:

blitz-fits.h: In function â:
blitz-fits.h:93: error: there are no arguments to â that depend on a
template parameter, so a declaration of â must be available
blitz-fits.h:93: error: (if you use â, G++ will accept your code, but
allowing the use of an undeclared name is deprecated)
blitz-fits.h:96: error: cannot convert â to â for argument â to â

Needless to say, this makes it even harder than normal to figure out
what's wrong with the program... ;-)

This is on a Fedora Core 4 x86_64 machine. Does anyone have any idea why
this is happening and what to do about it?

Thanks,

/Patrik Jonsson
