[LTP] [PATCH 1/3] Makefile: set LC_ALL and LANG to C

[Petr Vorel]

* have reproducible builds (no locale dependencies)
* English only output - easier to debug problem

NOTE: if we want to have only reproducible build, but keep localized
messages, we could use kernel approach:
unexport LC_ALL
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_NUMERIC=C
export LC_COLLATE LC_NUMERIC

They deliberately kept LC_CTYPE to have localized messages.

[LTP] [PATCH 3/3] doc: Remove mini-howto-building-ltp-from-git.txt

[Petr Vorel]

Document is not linked into our wiki, there is "Quick guide to running
the tests" section in README.md visible from web and CI scripts in
ci/*.sh and build.sh, which describe what to install and how to build.

Do we want any of these move to "Quick guide to running the tests"
section in README.md?

Hi,

Setting LANG should not be necessary as long as LC_ALL is set. That is 
what my patch "tst_test.sh: Normalize the locale" does.

I would prefer to copy the kernel. If someone sends us compilation
messages in a language we don't understand then we can ask them to set
the locale before compiling.

I think ensuring our build scripts produce the same executable output on
different locales is nice though.

Yes, I don't understand what LANG is doing here. AFAICT it is just sets
a default for undefined settings and will be overrided by LC_ALL.

Setting to changes-requested in patchwork because of LANG and LC_ALL is
overkill IMO.
