What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. clone repo
2. ./configure
3. make

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

latest version 7.3.300+

Please provide any additional information below.

On osx I've some troubles compiling vim, this because this file: 
runtime/tools/efm_perl.pl

em_perl.pl contains an UTF-8 char but the file isn't encoded correctly (?) 

So I got:

perlpath=`./which.sh perl` && sed -e "s+/usr/bin/perl+$perlpath+" 
../runtime/tools/efm_perl.pl 
>/usr/local/src/vim/HEAD/share/vim/vim73/tools/efm_perl.pl
sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence
make[1]: *** [installtools] Error 1

My locale is correctly UTF8

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

My fix at the moment is:

iconv -c -t UTF-8 ./runtime/tools/efm_perl.pl > ./runtime/tools/efm_perl.pl

efm_perl.pl is encoded as latin1, not UTF-8.

I'm sorry mr. lech is this OSX users discrimination or what??

we also have utf8 locales, and because of your latin1 outdated crap I can't use 
vim at my job.. BECAUSE I CAN'T COMPILE IT!  and it's your problem ignoring LC 
vars.. definitely not OS problem or package maintainer.

Non ASCII characters are only used in a comment.

Replacing them with ASCII characters makes the file
runtime/tools/efm_perl.pl both a valid latin1 and valid utf8 file.
I think it's safer to fix it this way rather than encoding the file in utf8.

See attached patch.
