Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that dash could not be built reproducibly.
The script src/mkbuiltins is used to generate a C file (builtins.c).
The order of elements in the struct builtincmd is varying because they
are not sorted locale-independently.

The attached patch fixes this by setting LC_ALL instead of LC_COLLATE to C.

Regards,
 Reiner
