On a few warnings of the Cigwin bootstrap

On a few warnings of the Cigwin bootstrap

[Angelo Graziosi]

Bootstrapping CVS on Cygwin, I observe this warning

Warning: Default coding system `iso-latin-1' disagrees with
system codeset `US-ASCII' for this locale.

It happens three times, at the end of the build, after the final build 
of emacs.exe.

It is also the first message in the *Messages* buffer, when starting Emacs.

Could it be related to this discussion [1]?


Cheers,
    Angelo.

Yes, it's the same problem.  Let's see what Handa-san says about it.

Eli,
I have read [1] and haven't understood much.

In any case, it is strange.

[1] says that the Changes are those of 2002-10-..., but I have those 
warnings only since Feb. 01-2008!

Are we sure that also this Change and friends

2008-02-01  Dave Love
[...]
          * international/mule-diag.el (list-charset-chars): Set buffer
            file coding system.
[...]

do not enter in the 'game'?


Cheers,
    Angelo.

AFAIU, Handa-san says that we can disable the warning without any ill
effects.  I will do so when I have time, unless someone beats me to
it.

In any case, you can stop worrying about this warning, it doesn't mean
something is wrong with your setup or your Emacs.

That's because these changes were made when the unicode-based Emacs
was on a CVS branch.  That branch was merged with the trunk around Feb
1 this year.

I've removed the warning.

For the sake of completeness, the warning comes out when I have

export LANG=it

Undefining it (export LANG=), the warning goes away.

Cheers,
    Angelo.
