commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=e2d0b5b9bfbef8a76ccb718d094f710db1ce613d
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2024.11.x

Use the 'C' locale when retrieving the date of the last change using
'svn info' since the svn download helper script expect
"Last Changed Date" string.

If another locale is used, the 'date' is empty so the generated
archive (by mk_tar_gz) will not match the expected hash since
the file timestamp is not set properly.

If LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 is defined in the host system, svn print some
"French encrypted" text:

  eval svn --non-interactive --config-option servers:global:http-timeout=10 info ''\''https://svn.code.sf.net/p/xmlrpc-c/code/advanced@r3176'\'''
  ...
  Date de la dernière modification: 2023-09-02 19:13:35 +0200 (sam. 02 sept. 2023)

diffoscope confirm that the file timestamp is not set correctly
in the generated archive:

$ diffoscope NOK/libxmlrpc-r3176-svn5.tar.gz OK/libxmlrpc-r3176-svn5.tar.gz
