Indeed, the glibc source should use UTF-8 except for the few files where other
encodings make sense, e.g., iconvdata/testdata/*. I realize several files use
older encodings and it'll be a bit of work to convert them and this is not high
priority. (I can volunteer to do timezone/southamerica, which was converted to
UTF-8 long ago upstream. :-)
