+Override system locale and set to default when adding gcc paths
+
+Forces the use of the default locale in the function
+add_gcc_paths, which is called when cross compiling to add the
+include and library paths. This is necessary because otherwise
+the gcc output is localized and the output parsing fails, which
+results in no paths added and detect_modules not able to find
+any system library (eg. libz, libssl, etc.)
