Very interesting!

On our system, LANG is already set to "C" due to some other application
environment restrictions. But I noticed that LC_ALL was unset.

# locale
LANG=C
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

After Setting LC_ALL to "C", gcc seems happy but I get the following
problem...

Stop.

Also, Tobias Nygren has made a suggestion regarding this problem on the
tech-pkg mailing list. Perhaps there is something there as well, however
I have verified that `bmake show-depends' does not show any dependencies
for bootstrap-mk-files:
