 Autoconf-generated scripts normally set all these variables to
 @samp{C} because so much configuration code assumes the C locale and
-@sc{posix} requires that @env{LC_ALL} be set to @samp{C} if the C
-locale is desired.  However, some older, nonstandard systems (notably
-@sc{sco}) break if @env{LC_ALL} is set to @samp{C}, so when running on
-these systems Autoconf-generated scripts unset the
-variables instead.
