You can't fix something that isn't broken.  The code should assume "C"
if no locale support is present and move on.

That logic is backward, IMHO.  POSIX doesn't *preclude* the use of X11
or libjpeg or libpng.  The current code *precludes* running on a
system that is validly and correctly configured according to existing
standards.
