Which tools did you have in mind that generate native code and are affected by LANG!=C ? One of the simplest ways to fix the problem is to replace for example `date` with `LANG=C date` It should be rather simple to prefix those tools that you are thinking of with a LANG=C prefix. Exporting LANG=C to the shell is very inconvenient because it breaks a lot of shell usability for me. Just globally setting LANG=C inside the makefiles, would also work, but it is much nicer if we know what we are doing and just target those commands who actually matter. //Fredrik
