RFR: JDK-8036965: 9-dev solaris builds failed: sort: can't read STDIN: Illegal byte sequence

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello,

Please review this simple fix which was also triggered by the properties 
files cleanup. On (at least) some Solaris configurations, sort fails if 
certain LC_xxx variables are set. The solution is to set LC_ALL=C 
instead of LANG=C.
