As someone who leaves root w/o LANG, I would note that there are a few packages which cannot build unless LANG is set to a UTF-8 locale.
What we really need is C.UTF-8 and/or POSIX.UTF-8, and to force *that* in emerge(1), ebuild(1), etc. -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
