Re: Build failed on latest ELKS

Hello Juan,

Thanks for pointing the previous report.

I guess you meant ""grep" does not like it", and octal as "0xxx" in C 
files, not "\xxx" as in shell.

Adding option -a to grep gives a correct Config.in, but one thing stills 
not clear for me:
do you know what is the code page that is supposed to be used to encode 
the characters in the keys-*.h ?

In the IBM PS/2 BIOS TechRef, I see no clue about this encoding, just a 
Keycode / ASCII table with US keyboard layout.
