From the bug report:
We should prefix LC_ALL=C for most, maybe all, tools we use when building.
This probably means we should run "export LC_ALL=C" early in the
configure script as well.

The fix itself is trivial. While I know we've had several issues
regarding localization, I could not find any specific instances now that
I was looking for them. I searched JBS for a while but could not dig up
anything that was reproducible. So, unfortunately, I have been unable to
verify that this solves any actual problems. That being said, I believe
this is a prudent fix that should have been in place long time ago. But
if anyone can give me a concrete example that breaks so that I can
verify that this helps, please let me know.
