The issue is that if you provide a binary for IBM-1047 it surely
won't work on a IBM-1026 Turkish or Greek or any other language.
Why can't it test for locale?
That's a very good point! Trouble is most software ported from ASCII
(Expat XML parser for example) tend to only support a limit set of code

It's a lot of work to fix it up to support the complete plethora of
EBCDIC and usually not worth it.
