1) not important, see 2 => so there is no flag/define to be given to the 
make command?

2) So by default the compiler only handles the ANSI encoding on Windows?
Which also solves my problem.
I am trying to find out which of the gdb that I have supports what chars 
in the exe name. But If an exe of that name can not be compiled, it 
becomes less important. (Yes the user could still rename after build...)
