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.
