Compiling from AUR has funny letters and funny function members

When installing from AUR and compiling.

I often get an error like this.

./src/gtk/gsockgtk.cpp:55: error: â has no member named â

A workaround is setting LANG=C
It doesnt work to set lang to en_US.utf8
(i read somewhere that the standard says it should be utf-8)

I dont like this, since i want to have the apps internationalized.

$ locale

----
LANG=en_DK.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_DK.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_DK.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_DK.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_DK.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_DK.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_DK.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_DK.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_DK.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_DK.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_DK.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_DK.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_DK.utf8"
LC_ALL=

So what gives? any one have a clue?
I got this problem after i reinstalled and changed to 64bit system.
Incidently:
I have problems with openBox which doesnt act on my locale.
i also use setxkbmap dk, in autostart.sh and .xinitrc (using startx).
But i have to write the command in a terminal after start of X
to change the language. All other WM's use the right locale from start.

Openbox message:

---
Openbox-Message: X server does not support locale.
Openbox-Message: Cannot set locale modifiers for the X server.
---

Also i have seen similar complaint for xlib.

Don't know if they are related?
Maybe i should try to make the AUR compilation
under another windows manager.
