You also can patch ${WRKSRC}/giscanner/xmlwriter.py:

116     def write_line(self, line=u'', indent=True, do_escape=False):
117         if isinstance(line, str):
118             line = line.decode('utf-8')

After line 116 add print('XXXXXXXX, THERE IS LINE: ', line) like this:

116     def write_line(self, line=u'', indent=True, do_escape=False):
117         print('XXXXXXXX, WHERE IS LINE: ', line)
118         if isinstance(line, str):
119             line = line.decode('utf-8')

You should do this between `make extract` and `make build`. Then copy 
here what the string is looks like after "XXXXXXXX, THERE IS LINE".
