	Is it due to a locale setting?  It seems reasonable for GCC to
	put UTF-8 quotes when asked for such a locale.

	FWIW, I always suppress any localization by prepending
	`LC_ALL=C' to the `make' invocation, like:

$ LC_ALL=C nohup time make & 

	(Otherwise one might get something like:

$ gcc none.c 
gcc: none.c: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
gcc: no input files
$ 

	in the log; hardly a good thing to be included into a bug
	report.)
