  Issue #8663: distutils.log emulates backslashreplace error handler. Fix
  compilation in a non-ASCII directory if stdout encoding is ASCII (eg. if stdout
  is not a TTY).

  regrtest.py: call replace_stdout() before the first call to print()

  print("==  ", os.getcwd()) fails if the current working directory is not ASCII
  whereas sys.stdout encoding is ASCII.
