LANG=en_US.UTF-8
is already set on Centos 5.

What does help is to put export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 first line in the 
%prep, %build... sections

Afaik UTF-8 is default for most linux distributions nowadays (not sure 
about debian). I wonder why (and where) rpmbuild on centos sets LANG to 
something different. I can tell that OpenSuse 11.x does not modify LANG 
in rpmbuild as I'm porting a package from there.
