a^ (ahat) in error messages from gcc

[Reg Clemens]

I sent this message to the list yesterday, but I have never seen
it,  Sorry if you see it twice.

---

When I use gcc, (FC4) I find that the error messages are
'full' of the character a-hat, viz

    interest-rate.c: In function â:
    interest-rate.c:20: error: â undeclared (first use in this function)

(I hope that they show in this e-mail).

What am I doing wrong and/or what do I need to do to fix this ???
Im sure this has come up before, but I cant find it...
