Do you have an example where this doesn't work?  In unix-execve, there
is a call to %name->file which is supposed to convert string according
to the encoding given by *filename-encoding*.  This currently defaults
to nil, so effectively, iso8859-1 is used.

The expected way to set the encoding is to call
set-system-external-format with the desired encoding for the default
streams and for filename encoding.
