Took me a while to figure out why none of my source RPMs would install
the language files... seems that the lang.sh in /etc/profile.d sets the
environment for LINGUAS which is used during configuration to determine
the langauge catalogs to install. Problem is, most default to english,
so if your LINGUAS variable is set to "en", no language files are
included, causing the rebuild to fail.
I discovered this with gettext and gtk+ this morning. Solved it by
unsetting LINGUAS for the root user for rebuilding the sources.
