Slightly related to your message:

When configuring autools with qt6 I get these (seemingly harmless)
warnings:

checking for Qt6... Detected locale "C" with character encoding
"ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1)
manual
for more information.

FWIW running locale I get this:
$ locale
