Hi Vladimir,

correction. There actually is a way (although this is some kind of
cheating).

In texk/bibtex8/Makefile.am you could replace

AM_CPPFLAGS = -DUNIX -DKPATHSEA -DSUPPORT_8BIT
AM_CFLAGS = -funsigned-char

by

AM_CPPFLAGS = -DUNIX -DKPATHSEA -DSUPPORT_8BIT -funsigned-char
AM_CFLAGS =

and then either (1) run automake-1.11 in texk/bibtex8/, or (2) run
autoreconf, or (3) manually apply the same modification to Makefile.in.
