Thats what I said back when you tried to add german lingo to the
gcc-error-message-parser ;)

In Kdevelop3 we had an option to either have it parse the output, which in
turn enforces running make with LC_MESSAGES=C or have make run with the
standard locale in which case the user was warned that we won't get neat
output or be able to click on errors to jump to the line where it occurred.

So to make a long story short: Yes, IMHO we should have the same option as
in KDevelop3 and the default should be forcing make into C locale.
