The configure script of biew-6.1.0 fails with
    Checking for C compiler name ... gcc-Version
if using the de_DE.UTF-8 locale and sys-devel/gcc-4.5.2. It may fail with other
locales and/or compilers, too. The problem occurs due to the fact that the
string “gcc version” written by gcc for ‘gcc -v’ is translated according to the
language (German in the case mentioned above).

This patch makes sure that the POSIX locale is used when the biew configure
script checks for the name of the compiler. This allows the configure script to
parse the output properly.
