This is not your problem, but the problem of man. Its author still uses the 
old catgets() i18n in the obsolete way. Either set LANG to something valid, 
or change the source as follows:

in src/gripes.c near the beginning of catinit() function (near line 38) change
        catfd = my_catopen(mantexts,0);
to
        catfd = my_catopen(mantexts,NL_CAT_LOCALE);
This causes man to use LC_ALL or LC_MESSAGES instead of LANG.

Or, if you don't want the i18n of man messages, just prepend DEFS="-DNONLS" to 
the ./configure command (this will not affect your ability to view man pages 
in your native language)
