I did not run the 'git submodule...' command the first time, but I did now.
I still get the first error; see below. Am I suppose to run anything else

I am master.

I was imprecise. I actually get the error above while running 'bootstrap'.
So first, here is the error message. (Notice the first line about some
unrecognized character.)

Unrecognized character \xFF in column 11 at build-aux/prefix-gnulib-mk line
1.

When I look at build-aux/prefix-gnulib-mk it seems completely corrupted.
