This should make it so that the output from `make update` is stable
across different machines.

>From sort(1):

    *** WARNING *** The locale specified by the environment affects sort
    order. Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that uses
    native byte values.

LC_COLLATE is a version of LC_ALL which only affects collation.

With this patch:
    $ make update && git diff --stat
    ...
    36 files changed, 21133 insertions(+), 17192 deletions(-)

Before:
    $ make update && git diff --stat
    ...
    37 files changed, 13049 insertions(+), 8773 deletions(-)

The last `make update` was run with the en_US.UTF-8 locale, hence switching to
the C locale creates a bigger diff.
