Agreed for LC_ALL, but why LANGUAGE?. It is not even mentioned in the 
bash manual.

The GNU Coding Standards don't agree 
(http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Configuration.html):
"Specifying variables as arguments to configure, like this:
          ./configure CC=gcc
is preferable to setting them in environment variables:
          CC=gcc ./configure
as it helps to recreate the same configuration later with config.status".
