Most probably you have some non-ascii characters in a \DeclareLaTeXClass
line in some of your layout files. Now those files are explicitly read as
utf-8 encoded. If this is so, the attached patch should help.
Another consequence of the recent changes is that if someone has old
layouts containing latin1 characters then configure will now misteriously
fail.
