When compiling and reporting, always do: unset LANG C

Actually, I was slightly off, documentation I found says:

  A new macro has been added to make the creation of slab caches easier:
    struct kmem_cache KMEM_CACHE(struct-type, flags);
    The result is the creation of a cache holding objects of the given
     struct_type, named after that type, and with the additional slab
     flags (if any).

and

  The prototype for slab constructor callbacks has changed to:
    void (*ctor)(struct kmem_cache *cache, void *object);
   The unused flags argument has been removed and the order of the other
    two arguments has been reversed to match other slab functions.
