every GNU gettext/libiconv program i have compiles fine with POSIX set.
i run GNU/Linux from scratch, and i can pretty much say _everything_
else i have compiles fine with LC_ALL=POSIX. i set it that way so as to
_not_ upset builds :-/ (i use en_GB at runtime)

if i `unset LC_ALL`, they all get reset to POSIX anyway. if i do a
`LC_ALL=en_US` as suggested in a previous post, i still cant build.

do we have to have the LC_?? set only for the locale we want to build?
