gcc uses Unicode quote marks with LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8, but not with
LC_CTYPE=C.  Shouldn't that depend on LC_MESSAGES instead, not LC_CTYPE?
LC_CTYPE should only affect character classification, such as "this
character counts as uppercase".

LC_CTYPE should determine the character set for messages and LC_MESSAGES 
their language.  For translated messages, gettext should automatically 
convert the messages in the .mo file to the user's terminal's character 
set as specified by LC_CTYPE (or overridden by OUTPUT_CHARSET).  For 
English messages, this is handled directly in the compiler.
