Yes, I found that also. I reported it upstream.
I believe the error in is the utf8x module but I haven't been able to figure
out what changed from TeXLive2023 (which does work).

Simplest work-around is to replace
	PDFLATEX = pdflatex
with
	PDFLATEX=luatex
in the .../docs/Makefile

or do the same in the environment as part of the configuration process.

bash$     PDFLATEX=luatex ./configure
