Why do you think this would be affected by the unix locale?

Also when you change timezones, only the display changes, not the
timestamp of files on disk. I never had issues with gnu/make using the
localtime, it uses stat, unix-time (UTC).


Anyway, for locales and keyboard-layout just read the manual, page 45:
