There is definitely something wrong with this code.  I think it will
fail on x86 systems if a multibyte sequence contains an 0xFF, which
I believe is possible with UTF8.

I think that unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/sysdep.h is getting included
twice.  It's not protected against multiple inclusion, because that
didn't happen before.  If you could work out where it gets included
the first time, that would be helpful.
