I should have asked you which version of libintl is being used. I went
ahead and jumped to 0.26 and they now gate like this:
/* If the current locale value is "C" or "C.<encoding>" or "POSIX",
we don't load a domain. Return the MSGID. */
if ((single_locale[0] == 'C'
&& (single_locale[1] == '\0' || single_locale[1] == '.'))
|| strcmp (single_locale, "POSIX") == 0)
break;
