The patch to define HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET went in, so now UTF-8 LC_CTYPE
gets proper quotes in English messages.
If the testsuite doesn't run with LC_ALL=C, something must be broken - I'd
just presumed that any testsuite harness testing diagnostics would have
set LC_ALL=C for years to avoid failing when translations are used. But
absent that, LC_ALL=C should be set for make check.
The easiest place to set LC_ALL for running the testsuite is probably in
gcc/Makefile.in where other environment variables are set for the
testsuite, though there may be a "right" place in the dejagnu files
somewhere.
