    dist.run_commands()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/distutils/dist.py", line 955, in run_commands
    self.run_command(cmd)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/distutils/dist.py", line 974, in run_command

Looks like "UnicodeDecodeError" is due to a default C locale instead of a UTF8 locale. One workaround is to edit /etc/locale.gen and enable en_US.UTF8, then run locale-gen, then export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8. Build will complete after that.

Not sure if that's in the scope of a PKGBUILD? It kind of sounds like a bug in the upstream code...
