Hello Juan,
Thanks for pointing the previous report.
I guess you meant ""grep" does not like it", and octal as "0xxx" in C
files, not "\xxx" as in shell.
Adding option -a to grep gives a correct Config.in, but one thing stills
not clear for me:
do you know what is the code page that is supposed to be used to encode
the characters in the keys-*.h ?
In the IBM PS/2 BIOS TechRef, I see no clue about this encoding, just a
Keycode / ASCII table with US keyboard layout.

Hello,
This problem (with possible workaround) was reported in:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-8086/msg00675.html
The problem is that keymap tables use "extended ascii" characters,
this is, codes greater than 127, and current "make" don't like it. For
example, accented a is written as 'á' and should be written as'\341'.
This include files are C code and should use plain ascii. However,
this is a lot of work.

Hello,
I just took the latest version of ELKS from Jody's GIT master branch, and I
got an issue while building ELKS.
I am using the "build.sh" script for the newbie I am :-)
With default configuration, build fails because the following file is
malformed:
/home/mfld/advantech/elks/elks/arch/i86/drivers/char/KeyMaps/keymaps.h:
/* Automatically created - do not edit */
#include "Fichier" /* binaire keys-be.h correspondant */
#include "Fichier" /* binaire keys-de.h correspondant */
#include "Fichier" /* binaire keys-es.h correspondant */
#include "Fichier" /* binaire keys-it.h correspondant */
#include "Fichier" /* binaire keys-se.h correspondant */
#include "Fichier" /* binaire keys-uk.h correspondant */
#include "keys-dv.h" /* DV Dvorak */
#include "keys-us.h" /* US American */
(I am using a Gentoo configured in French, so the french strings)
This file came from the malformed Config.in:
# Automatically created - do not edit.
choice 'XT Keyboard support' \
"keys-be.h correspondant CONFIG_KEYMAP_binaire \
keys-de.h correspondant CONFIG_KEYMAP_binaire \
keys-es.h correspondant CONFIG_KEYMAP_binaire \
keys-it.h correspondant CONFIG_KEYMAP_binaire \
keys-se.h correspondant CONFIG_KEYMAP_binaire \
keys-uk.h correspondant CONFIG_KEYMAP_binaire \
Dvorak CONFIG_KEYMAP_DV \
American CONFIG_KEYMAP_US" American
# EOF.
Error went away after changing the kernel configuration:
Select console driver: from <Direct> to <BIOS>
I am not at ease with the Config.in generation, any idea here ?
