You can set LC_ALL in your .jhbuild-custom with 
 os.environ["LC_ALL"] = "C"
if that's what you need to get webkit to build, though I think that it's weird that you'd need to. What's OS X setting $LANG to on your system? If you think that that's the solution to your earlier reported error
 Tools/DumpRenderTree/gtk/DumpRenderTree.cpp:470:15: error: use of undeclared identifier 'LC_ALL'; did you mean 'P_ALL'?   setlocale(LC_ALL, ""); ^~~~~~ P_ALL 

Then you don't understand C.

Something else is wrong here: The current moduleset builds WebKitGtk 1.10, not 1.6, which explains why you need those old patches.
