Hi Alexander.  Google translate shows me that this message means "Could
not be opened".

I'm not sure what would show a message like that in GNU make.  My
suspicion, personally, is that this message is not coming from GNU make
at all but rather it's being printed by a program that GNU make is
invoking.

I would need to see the context including the full text of the error
message to know for sure.

In any event, GNU make's i18n/l10n implementation never, ever changes
anything like whether messages are printed to stdout or stderr based on
any of the LC_* values.  The only differences in behavior based on these
settings are in the output that is printed.
