Subject: [PATCH] Make mkcompile_h use LANG=C and LC_ALL=C for $CC -v

Hi all,

This patch fixes a minor bug in mkcompile_h.
As one can see, the current locale is used while
getting the version of gcc. This produces problems
when a locale other than C or en_US is used.
As an example, my /proc/version contains Turkish
characters in iso-8859-9 encoding.

This patch fixes this issue by making sure that
the C locale is used to get gcc's version.

Regards,
situert
