The languages to build are determined through the LINGUAS environment
varaiable that for an unknown reason is set to "en". It happens "en"
is not a correct value for LINGUAS: en-GB or en_US are. Or you can
unset LINGUAS and thenit builds help fies for all supported languages.
Now I have been unable to see whare LINGUAS is set because no refular
file under /etc contains it except the i18n file unser /etc/sysconfig
and this tols to use fr_FR in my case while my shell was using "en".
