As discussed on IRC, and for future reference: the problem is caused by
the accentuation in "T?l?chargements" (french for "Downloads").

The problem still occurs on master, but is not related to Buildroot.
It's nodjs' JSON decoder that does not know how to deal with
accentuation... :-(

Hmidi, maybe you could file a bug report in nodejs' own tracker, along
the lines of:

    "If a path contains frenc accentuation, like "T?l?chargements", the
    build fails with:"
    (and quote the error message above)
