You don't export these, which leads to an obscure corner case:
if the user has no LANG variable set in their environment when
they run make then we will set LANG=C in the top level makefile
but it will not be set in a sub-makefile. Since the default
locale is the same as the C locale this doesn't make any
practical difference, but it's a little odd.

(Make automatically exports variables to submakes if they had
some value in its environment when it was started, but not if
they were only set in the makefile.)

Also, do we need to set these in configure too?
