Thanks for your investigations and kind suggestions. It is more troublesome to
add new a user to the Chinese system and set its system locale to English.
Instead of doing this, I prefer to directly change the system locale to English.
I understand that you find the easier to just change your local
settings. Could I nevertheless trouble you to try out the method
described above, i.e. to create a English locale user, and run the build
from a shell started by
%comspec% runas /profile /user:yourotheruser c:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe
? If that works, I'd like to document it in the build manual as an
alternative for those who do not want to change the locale of their main
user account.
You convinced me, I agree with you that stating these has far-reaching
consequences and your internal test matrix will become incredibly heavy.
However, I think we can add a section in the FAQ or other places in the
building document to give a solution for such problems as much as possible, e.g.
I have opened https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8264425 about
updating the build documentation. I suggest that this PR/issue can now
be closed.
