ld-version.sh checks the output from $(LD) --version, but it has a
problem on some locales.

For example, in Italian:

  $ LC_MESSAGES=it_IT.UTF-8 ld --version | head -n 1
  ld di GNU (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2

This makes ld-version.sh fail because it expects "GNU ld" for the
BFD linker case.

Add LC_ALL=C to override the user's locale.

BTW, setting LC_MESSAGES=C (or LANG=C) is not enough because it is
ineffective if LC_ALL is set on the user's environment.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
