I run them with en_GB.UTF-8, which works fine for me, but it's a bug
in the test suite if something's locale dependent and not ensuring
it is set correctly.

I just run "make -C my-build-dir check-acceptance"; I don't know anything
about the internals. It would help if you quoted the error messages
you see.

FWIW, I also see a hang on a manual run of a different vexpress-a9
kernel, so the bug is not specific to the check-acceptance tests.
