 I'm getting the same thing on Minix. Some pkg-config arguments work
 but others give the same conversion not supported message. It's kind
 of a problem because configure scripts (in fonts/fontconfig for
 example) fail if they can't determine that pkg-config is at least at a
 certain version.
 
 # pkg-config --atleast-pkgconfig-version 0.9.0
 Conversion from character set '646' to 'UTF-8' is not supported
 # pkg-config freetype2 --cflags
 -I/usr/pkg/include/freetype2 -I/usr/pkg/include
 # pkg-config --version
 0.28
 # pkg-config --help
 GLib: Cannot convert message: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to
 '646' is not supported
 Usage:
   pkg-config [OPTION...]
 
 The rest of the output was omitted for brevity.
