Hi,


Due to Daniel Schaefer's suggestion, I describe my case in details.
My case reproduction steps:
ENV:
Host: Ubuntu 20.04 but local $LANG is zh_CN.utf8
VM: Fedora RISCV Kernel 5.5 and local $LANG is en_US.UTF-8
Steps:
1) Boot up Fedora RISCV VM:
qemu-system-riscv64 \
>   -nographic \
>   -machine virt \
>   -smp 8 \
>   -m 2G \
>   -kernel
Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-20200108.n.0-fw_payload-uboot-qemu-virt-smode.elf \
>   -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \
>   -device virtio-rng-device,rng=rng0 \
>   -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \
>   -drive
file=Fedora-Developer-Rawhide-20200108.n.0-sda.raw,format=raw,id=hd0 \
>   -device virtio-net-device,netdev=usernet \
>   -netdev user,id=usernet,hostfwd=tcp::10000-:22
2) SSH to Fedora RISCV VM from Host:
ssh -p 10000 -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o
PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no root@localhost
3) Login Fedora RISCV VM:
Inherit Host env variable $LANG "zh_CN.utf8", although the VM's local $LANG
var in /etc/locale.conf is "en_US.UTF-8".
4) Build the EDK2 binary:
build -a RISCV64 -t GCC5 -p
Platform/SiFive/U5SeriesPkg/FreedomU540HiFiveUnleashedBoard/U540.dsc
When building, UiApp.offset file not created is due to the offset variable
cannot be fetched from UiApp.map file, and it causes the building failed.
The root cause of UiApp.offset file not created is "Archive member
included" does not appears in the head of UiApp.map.
But instead, "Archive member included" is written in Chinese words in
UiApp.map in my case. So offset var cannot be fetched because
GetVariableOffset doesn't handle Chinese words in its code logic.

So it's probably edk2 prioritizes or only handles env var $LANG, but not
check $LANG difference between env var and /etc/locale.conf.
My case workaround: Just re-source the VM local "/etc/locale.conf" to
change the $LANG to "en_US.UTF-8" and re-build the binary, then succeed.


Best Regards
