dev-lang/scala-2.12.4 on paludis fails during src_compile with

> [info] Compiling 157 Scala sources and 3 Java sources to /var/tmp/paludis/dev-lang-scala-2.12.4/work/scala-2.12.4/build/quick/classes/reflect...

It triggers as the fallback charset when LC_CTYPE is not defined is not UTF-8 but ISO8859-1, as defined in icedtea-3.6-jdk-a05e38417041.tar.xz:jdk-a05e38417041/src/solaris/native/java/lang/java_props_md.c:GetJavaProperties

From PMS
> The package manager must ensure that the LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE locale categories are equivalent to the POSIX locale, as far as characters in the ASCII range (U+0000 to U+007F) are concerned. [Only for EAPI >= 6]
It seems that paludis doesn't implement it correctly, treating EAPI 6 as previous ones (so undefined).

In scala-2.12.4.ebuild, in src_compile, there is a line trying to fix it, probably dangling from previous EAPI implementation
> export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

So, we can either drop the fix which shouldn't trigger as using a recent EAPI, or we can fix it fully to allow for an old package manager to compile it.
