I'm not sure why you need LC_ALL unless you are explicitly setting other
LC_ variables to different values. The LANG variable will cover all LC_
variables unless they were set otherwise.
This is from 'man locale'. Additional locale variable definitions can
be found in the 'localedef' manpage.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
locale:
LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization variables
that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Vari-
ables for the precedence of internationalization variables used
to determine the values of locale categories.)
LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all
the other internationalization variables.
[/snip]
So if LANG is set and other LC_ variables are not, LANG will be the
default locale. Does this not work for you?
