Also needs LANG=$LANG set to avoid bizarre "INTERNAL: Exiting with 1 jobserver 
tokens available; should be 8!" errors. I couldn't find any references for 
this, just slowly worked through the LFS minimal settings[1] - I should have 
looked there first to save myself a lot of time. LFS also sets HOME, TERM, and 
PS1[2] - but these aren't necessary. Tested on OSX with make 3.81 and 3.82.

Cheers,
