LC_NUMERIC="ja_JP.utf8"
LC_TIME="ja_JP.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="ja_JP.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="ja_JP.utf8"

LC_TELEPHONE="ja_JP.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ja_JP.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ja_JP.utf8"
LC_ALL=ja_JP.utf8

Without this patch:
$ make
make[2]: ??: ?? make ? -jN ?????????: jobserver ??????????.
make[2]: ??: ?? make ? -jN ?????????: jobserver ??????????.

With this patch:
