Description
I have been having issues when running volk_modtool in my Ubuntu box from afresh copy of the master branch of volk. The executable starts ok, but it seems to be failing when parsing some files due to encoding issues.
For example, this is the output I keep getting when running the tool
Initializing config file...

Not sure why this is happening, but if using my local clone, the error happens when parsing files within the .git repo. I added a print statement for volk_modtool_generate.py l107, and this is what I get before it errs

which seems to indicate that it has encoding issues when reading contents of .git/index. This is probably a binary file, and we are using r option when reading.
