makepkg won't work for any package building in locale zh_CN.utf8

After a recent upgrade I notice that makepkg won't work for any package building. It looks like
that printf complaints the syntax of /usr/bin/makepkg:

declare -x LANG="zh_CN.utf8"
declare -x LC_COLLATE="C"

$ makepkg

/usr/bin/makepkg: line 105: printf: `$': invalid format character

This line is where the trouble occurs:

/usr/bin/makepkg: line 105: printf: `$': invalid format character

Anyway, everything works smoothly when using en_US.utf8 or C locales. Maybe it's a bad idea
to build in a non standardized locale?

Hmm... looks like a repeat of bug http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12812 . I will get this fixed.

FYI, there is a patch here:
http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=pacman … ba468bb22c

This will be in a future pacman 3.3.3 release
