Looks like maxima-index.lisp is generated correctly in
de.utf8, es.utf8, and pt.utf8.
Conversely maxima-index.lisp is generated incorrectly
(special characters are replaced by literal '?' characters)
in de, es, and pt, when the ambient locale is UTF-8
(specifically en_US.UTF-8).
If I'm not mistaken, the current scheme which uses
build_index.pl generates correct maxima-index.lisp
for non-UTF-8 locales even if the ambient locale is UTF-8.
FWIW
