Set LANG=C to make sure the output of hwclock will have
the same output in all tested systems, regardless of their
language settings.

Thanks to Jason Wang, who spotted the the problem, and for
Gregory Smith and John Admanski, who pointed out the solution.

Changes from v1
 * Removed the initialization method altogether
 * Used LC_ALL instead of LANG
 * Exported LC_ALL right before the verification command is
   executed so we don't have to globally mess up with
   the environment variables.
