This is a python2.7 issue, it works fine when defaulting python to 3.6.
The script is glib-mkenums, it tries to parse special annotations in
C / C++ comments and fails to read the comments if source encoding is
not UTF8.

Apparently the unicode library changed slightly and the fallback to some
replacement/default char is not working in older python.
