If we go with that approach, I think we need to adapt the patch
as attached. I autoconfiscated it and fixed a portability problem
(it didn't compile on macOS, which has these decls in <xlocale.h>).
I've verified that this fixes the problem I was seeing on OpenBSD 6.4.
I've not bothered to test on a platform lacking uselocale() --- I
think it's clear by inspection that the patch doesn't change anything
in that case.
Not sure if we need to document this or not. On platforms with
uselocale(), it should fix the problem without any need for user
attention. On platforms without, there's no change, and given
the lack of previous complaints I'm not sure it's really an issue.
