A better thing IMO would be to fix upstream build files to take care
of
settings such as this and submit the patches upstream, for example like
this:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=maven-jflex-plugin.git;a=commitdi...
http://sf.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3475986&group_id=14929&...
+1 here as well. It's better to fix this for everyone (other distributions
included) since they will likely face the same problems when rebuilding
on a UTF-8 systems.
If the upstream has source files in UTF-8 (or whatever else), they
should make sure their build system knows about this and they shouldn't
rely on system environment to guess
