Locale problem updating 10.3 to 11.1

Hello.

After upgrading from 10.3 to 11.1 by building source (as of r329364),
I experienced some problems that seems to be related to locale.

Using
> echo $LANG -- $LC_CTYPE
no_NO.ISO8859-1 -- no_NO.ISO8859-1

ls emitted question mark for Norwegian characters (æøå), the menu
and title fonts in fvwm2 displayed unknown to me symbols except for
certain capital letters and yet other programs like the worker filemanager
truncated filenames at the first Norwegian letter.

I had to revert to 10.3 because of this but if anybody has some clues
what may be the reason for this, I'd appreciate it.

Regards
