There are two or three likely sources for the LC_CTYPE.  First, it
could be the X server.  To see if this is the case, use the following
.xinitrc:
	#!/bin/sh
	xterm
and then do a printenv.  I kinda doubt it as I don't see this on my
systems here, but I use XFree86 3.3.6.

Second, it could be coming gnome-terminal.  You can test this out by
changing the above script in the obvious way.  Do a printenv as well.
This likely is where the problem came from.  I don't use kde, gnome,
or anything more complex than twm + xterm or qvwm + xterm.

In any event the make system likely should cope.
