-patch away LC_NUMERIC setting; it results in failure while generating

-PERL5LIB=/usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl /usr/bin/perl -I../thirdparty/lib/perl5 -I../lib -mSmokeping -e 'Smokeping::main()' -- --makepod Smokeping::probes::AnotherCurl > Smokeping_probes_AnotherCurl.pod
-Unknown locale category 4 at ../lib/Smokeping.pm line 40.

-Code shouldn't be needed on OpenBSD anyway, it's there to take care of
-numeric locales with , instead of . (etc) and we don't do those anyway.
