That's controlled by the following fragment in configure.ac.  Either
the test failed to compile or it could not set the locale.  You can
look in config.log to see what happened.

AC_MSG_CHECKING([for utf8 locale support])
AC_RUN_IFELSE(
[AC_LANG_PROGRAM([[
  #include <locale.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
]], [[
char *loc = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8");
if (loc != NULL)
exit(0);
exit(1);
]])],
AC_MSG_RESULT(yes),
[AC_MSG_RESULT(no)
TEST_SSH_UTF8=no],
AC_MSG_WARN([cross compiling: assuming yes])
)

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
