Here's what I did:

set -euvx
mkdir -vp /tmp/lx2160a_uefi
cd /tmp/lx2160a_uefi
find . -mindepth 1 -delete
git clone https://github.com/SolidRun/lx2160a_uefi.git .
INITIALIZE=1 ./runme.sh
./runme.sh

Here's what happened:

Here's something else that happened during that attempted build:

As you can probably guess from my fix, one can reproduce this error by assigning LC_ALL=C within the shell executing ./runme.sh.
