Description

reason:
When compiling graalvmjdk, mx calls getKnownJavacLints if the local language is Chinese, it will cause UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xbf in position 19: invalid start byte, and there is no problem if the local language is English
resolution:
Add errors="ignore" named parameter to ignore errors when decoding strings

Research direction

Search the mx codebase for getKnownJavacLints, then inspect how it decodes compiler output. Reproduce the failure with a Chinese locale and verify that decoding no longer raises UnicodeDecodeError while compiling GraalVM JDK.
